Instructions
Prepare donut holes for dipping by giving a quick roll between your palms and determining where you will place your stick. I like to make sure the smoothest rounded side is at the top of the cake pop.
Melt the chocolate wafers according to package directions. I prefer to use a double broiler. Or, use a small saucepan with a glass bowl over top.
Carefully dip each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and stick into the cake pop. Allow to cool upside down.
When the chocolate has cooled, carefully dip each cake pop in the chocolate rotating until fully coated.
For plain cake pops, drizzle on extra chocolate once the first layer is set.
For drizzled/sprinkled cake pops, drizzle on extra chocolate once the first layer is set and immediately add sprinkles.
For sprinkle coated cake pops, allow the coating to set for 10 seconds then dip into sprinkles and rotate until fully coated.
Notes
If your chocolate is too thick, you can add oil 1/2 teaspoon at a time to thin the chocolate if needed. (Coconut or vegetable)
When adding the second layer of chocolate drizzle, make sure the chocolate is close to room temperature to ensure the layers don’t crack or separate.
Give the donut hole a quick shaping between your palms before placing it on the stick. If you have lumpy donut holes, use those ones to fully coat in sprinkles. It helps hide the flaws!
You can use plain donut holes, chocolate, or glazed.
We used white chocolate but you can also use dark or milk chocolate for the coating. I always recommend the Ghiradelli brand of melting wafers, but Wilton candy melts, baking chocolate, or almond bark will do the trick as well.
