Tips for making Valentines day cake pops:
First, a few tips. If you have never made these before, grab more chocolate than you think you need. Better to have more than run out mid baking session.
I use the Wilton Chocolate Dipping spoon. This helps drain the chocolate off the balls and use less chocolate.
It’s totally worth it! We use baking chocolate but you can also use wilton candy melts.
How to shape cake pops?
I also recommend a cookie scoop. You can easily make these into balls that are uniform and it’s so easy.
I use these all the time on so many recipes.
