instructions
- Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on box.

- Chop each jelly bean in half (the long way), these will be the ears.
- Press each cake ball onto a lollipop stick and then press the jelly beans on the top of the cake pop as ears.
- Melt Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Candy Coating in Melt and Make Microwaveable Tray™ according to the directions on the package.
- Add pink food coloring to CANDIQUIK® (must be oil or powder based) until desired color is established.
- Dip cake pops in melted CANDIQUIK® Coating, covering completely, let excess coating drip off; place in Styrofoam block.
- Before dry, press a pink colored M&M® on the center of the cake pop as a nose.
- Draw two dots with icing writer for the eyes.
TIP: If cake balls become too soft or are not holding their shape while being dipped, place back in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
