St. Patrick’s Day “Gold Treasure” Cake Pops

March 10, 2021 by Rachel 13 Comments

Hiiiiii… my name is Rachel and I am kinda, sorta, obsessed with cake pops. It’s true. Once, my ‘true love’ was cupcakes. But nowadays it’s those perfect little bite-sized perfections of dessert — cake pops. And, of course, I love my local pop-maker, I sometimes just like to spoil my kids with homemade cake pops. But when a holiday rolls around? Well we THEME those desserts! And these St. Patrick’s Day “Gold Treasure” Cake Pops are so much fun!

“Gold Treasure” Cake Pops

Here’s what you’ll need to make these “Gold Treasure” Cake Pops

You really don’t need much for this recipe at all. My suggestion is to first make a white cake ahead of time. Let it cool completely. You’ll only need about a quarter of it (unless you want to quadruple the recipe — which isn’t a bad idea!).

  • ¼ of a white cake (such as a box cake), cooked
  • 2 Tablespoons of cream cheese frosting, softened
  • 8 ounces of candy melts, green
  • 10 count 6 – inch cookie sticks
  • 3 Tablespoons of white sprinkles
  • 10 gold coins

That’s it! The gold coins are the item that really pushes these cake pops over the edge. Kids love chocolate coins, am I right?! So you know they’re going to freak out for these.

The Full Recipe

"Gold Treasure" Cake Pops

“Gold Treasure” Cake Pops
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • ¼ of a white cake (such as a box cake), cooked
  • 2 Tablespoons of cream cheese frosting, softened
  • 8 ounces of candy melts, green
  • 10 count 6 – inch cookie sticks
  • 10 gold coins
  • 3 Tablespoons of white sprinkles

Instructions

INGREDIENTS -

STEP 1 -

In a large bowl, crumble your cake.

STEP 2 -

Add in your cream cheese frosting. Mix well with a hand mixer, spoon, or stand mixer.

STEP 3 -

Divide your cake into 10 sections. With the palm of your hand, round out each portion into a ball shape.

STEP 4 -

Place your cake pops on a sheet pan or plate, and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

STEP 5 -

While your cake pops are in the freezer, place all of your candy melts in a medium sized bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals until completely melted.

STEP 6 -

Remove the cake pops from the freezer.

STEP 7 -

Place your cookie stick in the candy melt, then the cake pop. Then add your cake pop to the candy melts. Coat the pop completely with the melt. On the side of the bowl, tap it gently with the stick removing any excess chocolate from the cake pop to create a smooth finish.

STEP 8 -

Place the cake pop on the parchment paper. Immediately add your sprinkles before the chocolate dries. In the corner of your cake pop, push in your gold coin.

STEP 9 -

Continue steps 6 – 8 until each cake pop is complete.

STEP 10 -
