Steps to melt chocolate using a double boiler:
-
Set up:
-
Take a pan and fill it with about 2 inches of water.
-
Place the pan on low-medium flame and let the water heat up (do not boil).
-
-
Prepare the chocolate bowl:
-
Use a heatproof glass or stainless steel bowl that fits on top of the pan without touching the water.
-
Add white chocolate in one bowl and dark chocolate in another (melting separately).
-
-
Melt the chocolate gently:
-
Place the bowl over the pan and stir the chocolate continuously with a spatula.
-
The steam from the hot water will slowly melt the chocolate.
-
-
Ready to use:
-
Once melted, remove the bowl carefully using a cloth or oven mitts.
-
Stir well to ensure smooth consistency.
-
Use it after it cools down littel but still in pouring consistency for coating.

Final step:
-
Prepare the cake dough:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake (crumbled) and frosting.
-
Mix well until it forms a soft dough-like consistency.
-
-
Shape:
-
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into smooth balls.
-
Alternatively, shape them into hearts, squares, or any creative shape.
-
Place them on a lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set for better results.
-
-
Insert Sticks: (optional)
-
Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into melted chocolate and insert it into each cake ball.
-
This helps the stick stay in place.
-
-
Coat with Chocolate:
-
Dip each cake pop into melted white or dark chocolate, coating it evenly.
-
Gently tap off excess chocolate.
-
-
Decorate:
-
While the coating is still wet, add sprinkles, crushed nuts, or edible glitter for a festive look.

Place the coated cake pops upright on a styrofoam board or parchment paper.

Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
