- Melt Vanilla CANDIQUIK® in Melt and Make Microwaveable Tray™ according to the directions on the package.
- Dip cake pops in melted CANDIQUIK®, coating completely and allow excess coating to drip off; press a pink colored M&M® on the center of the cake pop as a nose; place in Styrofoam block to set. Optional: attach 2 Nerds® candies between ears as horns.
- Melt Chocolate CANDIQUIK® according to the directions on the package.
- Use a toothpick dipped in Chocolate CANDIQUIK® to draw spots as desired. Add two dots for the eyes and nostrils with edible marker.
TIP: If cake bites start to stick or get gooey when dipping, place the remaining cake bites in the refrigerator for an additional 20-30 minutes.
