(Or try adding chopped nuts instead of chocolate.)
6. Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Pops
These are just like the homemade peanut butter cakes we’ve been loving.
The only difference between these and your regular cake pops is the thickness.
They have the same melted peanut butter filling, but instead of a simple chocolate coating, you’ll use a mixture of chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and mini-chocolate chips.

And trust me; they’ll still taste amazing in spite of that!
16. Starbucks Lemon Cake Pop Copycat Recipe
I can’t get enough of lemon cake.
And this copycat recipe for the famous dessert is one I just have to try!
The cake here is insanely moist and cakey and the frosting is light, bright, and tangy.
It’s vegan-friendly but still has a little crunch from the nuts.
I think it would be even better if you used a boxed lemon pie filling instead of lemon curd.
But honestly, that wouldn’t look too good on your cupcakes!

Cake pops are a blast to make and to eat.
You can’t beat the attention they get from kids, and adults of all ages.

They look amazing as they come out of the oven, but it’s not difficult to re-create them at home!

With their orange and white color scheme, you can’t go wrong with this dessert.
Plus, they make for a fun 3D treat kids and adults will love!
Just be sure not to burn them in the oven or use anything that could get hot.
If you have some chocolate candy melts, try adding sprinkles or coconut shreds on top of the batter.
(I like to throw drops of water into my chocolate before pouring it in the bowl.)
22. Pecan Pumpkin Spice Cake Pops
I remember when these went out of style, and I was heartbroken.
Looking back, I can see how the sugar-loaded recipes didn’t take into account the fact that most kids don’t like too much sugar.
Plus, it just wasn’t Easter candy anymore.
Nowadays with so many healthy options out there, you can have a whole cake made with only pecans and coconut and pumpkin spice!
These are super easy to make and are perfect for little hands.
Roll them in crushed Chex cereal and festive sprinkles before popping them in the oven.

It’s especially useful if you want to change up the flavor.
But I won’t tell if you don’t!
These are super easy, but they are pretty mouth-watering.
25. Tequila Sunrise Cake Pops
These drinks are so fruity and fun, but you’ll want to keep them out of kids’ reach.
So, this recipe only has four ingredients – tequila, pineapple juice, orange vodka, and Orange Creamsicle (or Cadbury Creme Egg) ice cream!
The cake pops have a sugary-tangy flavor combination that I just love.
But the real star is the white chocolate ganache on top.
It’s so rich and syrupy and such a joy to eat with every bite.
