Method

- Continue kneading until you get a dough-like consistency that does not stick to your hands.
- Shape the mixture into balls of equal size.
- Melt chocolate pieces in a bain-marie and dip the balls completely into the melted chocolate.
- Lift each chocolate-coated ball with a slotted spoon or fork, let it drain for a few seconds, then place it on parchment paper.
- Place the cake pops in the refrigerator or freezer until they just set and the chocolate firms on the outside.
- You can decorate the pops with chocolate, nuts, or coconut before putting them in the freezer.
