Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (or 400g homemade vanilla sponge)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 1 cup water (240ml)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (120g)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened (75g)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (180g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts (340g)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
  • Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
  • Orange sprinkles or colored icing (for the nose)
  • Black decorating gel or edible marker (for mouth)
  • Assorted sprinkles, colored sugar, or mini scarves (for accessories)
  • Lollipop sticks (about 20)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine vanilla cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Let cake cool completely.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup frosting to crumbs and mix until mixture holds together like playdough.
  7. Roll mixture into 40 balls—20 large (1-inch) for bodies and 20 small (3/4-inch) for heads.
  8. Place balls on parchment-lined tray and chill in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Press together one large and one small ball for each snowman. Insert a lollipop stick from the bottom until secure.
  10. Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  11. Dip each snowman into melted chocolate, swirling to cover completely. Let excess drip off. Stick pops into a stand to dry.
  12. Double-dip for a thicker coating if desired.
  13. Decorate faces: press mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, use orange sprinkles or colored icing for nose, and black decorating gel for mouth. Add scarves or hats with colored sugar, sprinkles, or edible accessories.
  14. Let pops set for 20 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

Chill cake balls before dipping for best results. Double-dip for a smooth, professional finish. Use toothpicks for decorating details. Pops can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with substitutions. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze undipped cake balls for up to a month.
