Ingredients
1
box (15.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Strawberry Cake Mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1
tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Strawberry Mist™ Frosting
3
cups pink candy melts
15
to 20 pink chewy candies, unwrapped
Paper lollipop sticks
Blue and pink confetti candy sprinkles
Block of white plastic foam
Blue food-safe marker
Preparation
Make and bake cake mix as directed on box in 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
With fingers, crumble cake into fine crumbs into large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the frosting; with fork, work frosting into cake crumbs. Continue to add frosting by tablespoonfuls as needed, adding just enough frosting to create a thick, clay-like mixture.
Shape mixture into 1- to 1 1/2-inch balls; place on sheet of parchment paper.
Place candy melts in small deep bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring melted candy until smooth.
Dip end of each lollipop stick into melted candy, then insert stick firmly into center of 1 cake ball; place on parchment paper. Let stand until candy is hard.
Meanwhile, microwave chewy candies, one by one, on High 4 to 6 seconds. Roll each candy until flat with rolling pin. When cool, use kitchen scissors to cut candy into 2 small teardrop shapes; pinch ends to create ears.
For each popper, gently dip 1 cake ball into melted candy; quickly lift and allow candy to drip back into bowl. Turn cake popper right side up, gently press 2 candy ears into top of popper. Carefully attach 2 blue candy sprinkles for eyes and 1 pink candy sprinkle for nose. Gently press cake popper into plastic foam to allow candy to harden.
Use food-safe marker to draw whiskers and bunny mouths.
