# Instructions:

06 - Put balls in freezer for 30 minutes or keep in fridge for 90 minutes.
07 - Heat chocolate in microwave for 20 seconds at a time, giving it a stir between heating.
08 - Put stick end in melted chocolate, push into cake balls.
09 - Submerge balls in chocolate, gently tap to remove extra, quickly add sprinkles before hardening.
10 - Place pops stick-side up until completely hardened.

# Notes:

01 - Scratch-made frosting tastes way better than store-bought.
02 - Special candy coating works smoother than ordinary chocolate chips.
03 - Don't let your cake balls warm up or they'll slide off the sticks.
