Banana Split Cake Pops
Ingredients & Supplies
To make banana split cake pops, you will need:
- Strawberry banana cake balls
- Lollipop sticks
- Pink, yellow, and dark chocolate candy melts (or white candy melts and candy coloring)
- LorAnn Banana Cream Flavoring
- Rainbow nonpareils
- Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits
- Homemade cherry fruit candy decorations- A cake pop stand or styrofoam block
Microwave your yellow candy melts in a bowl on low power for 30-seconds at a time. Stop and stir after each 30-second interval then repeat until the coating is completely melted. Stir in 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon of LorAnn Banana Cream Flavoring, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the melted coating and then into a chilled cake ball, gently pushing until the stick is about half way through the cake ball. Turn your cake pops upright, set them in a cake pop stand, and place them in the fridge to chill before dipping.
Dip each chilled cake pop straight down into the melted coating until the cake ball is completely covered and sealed. If you need to angle the cake pop, gently tilt it in one direction and then another. Resist the temptation to stir the coating with the cake pop. If you do, your cake pop may fall off of the stick into a candy coating abyss.
Remove the cake pop from the melted coating by pulling it straight up. Then, turn the cake pop at an angle and gently tap off any excess coating.
Allow the yellow candy coating to cool and harden completely before continuing on to the next step.
Prepare your pink candy coating. Microwave your pink candy melts in a bowl on low power for 30-seconds at a time. Stop and stir after each 30-second interval then repeat until the coating is completely melted. If you wish to add banana flavoring, stir in 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon of LorAnn Banana Cream Flavoring, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
Use a spoon to drizzle a small amount of pink candy coating on top of a yellow cake pop. Slowly tilt the cake pop from side to side to drip the pink coating down the sides. Working quickly, while the coating is still wet, sprinkle rainbow nonpareils on your cake pop and top it off with a homemade cherry fruit candy decoration or a few Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits.
