Let’s Make Cake Pops! Your Step-by-Step Guide

Ready for the easiest, most fun dessert project ever? Let’s turn these classic snacks into magic!

Part 1: The Oatmeal Creme Pie “Dough”

1. Combine and Mix: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the 16 whole Oatmeal Creme Pies and the ⅛ cup of cream cheese frosting.
2. Mix Until Dough Forms: Mix on high speed until the creme pies are completely broken down and the mixture is well combined, forming a thick, dough-like consistency. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3. Scoop and Roll: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough, then roll each portion between your palms into a smooth, even ball. Place the balls on your prepared baking sheet.

Part 2: Chill, Dip, and Decorate

4. Chill the Balls: Place the baking sheet of rolled balls into the refrigerator for at least one hour, or in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. You want them to be chilled and firm before dipping.
5. Melt the Coating: Just before the chilling time is up, place your vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it in one-minute intervals, stirring well after each one, until it’s completely melted and smooth.
6. Insert the Sticks (if using): Dip about ½ inch of the tip of a cake pop stick into the melted almond bark, then push it about halfway into the center of a chilled oatmeal ball. This acts as a glue. Let the chocolate harden for a few minutes.
7. Dip and Garnish: Holding the stick, dip each cake pop into the melted coating until it’s fully covered. Gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to shake off any excess. Place it on the parchment paper (stick up) to set.
8. Add the Garnish: Immediately, while the coating is still wet, sprinkle the top of each pop with the crumbled Oatmeal Creme Pie pieces.
9. Set and Serve: Let the cake pops sit until the chocolate coating has completely hardened. Then, serve and enjoy the rave reviews!

Ingredients

  

• 16 Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies
• ⅛ cup Cream Cheese Frosting
• 1 lb. Vanilla Almond Bark
• ½ cup Crumbled Oatmeal Creme Pies for topping

Equipment

• Stand mixer
• Cookie scoop
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Cake pop sticks

Method

 

Make the Cake Pop ‘Dough’

1. Add oatmeal creme pies and cream cheese frosting to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on high until well combined and a dough forms.
2. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough and roll it into smooth, evenly sized balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Place the balls in the refrigerator for one hour, or in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, until chilled and firm.

Dip and Decorate

1. Melt the white almond bark in the microwave in one-minute intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
2. Dip the end of a cake pop stick in the melted bark and push it into the center of each oatmeal ball. Let the chocolate harden for a few minutes.
3. Once set, dip the entire cake pop into the melted bark and gently tap off the excess.
4. Immediately top with crumbled oatmeal creme pie pieces. Place on the parchment paper to set completely before serving.

Notes

Use Almond Bark: Chocolate bark or candy melts will give you the best, smoothest, and easiest coating that won’t crack. Regular white chocolate chips are more difficult to work with.

Less Frosting is More: Oatmeal Creme Pies are very moist. Start with a small amount of frosting and only add more if the crumbs absolutely won’t form a dough. Too much frosting will result in greasy, soft pops.

Chilling is Crucial: Do not skip chilling the balls. A firm, cold ball is essential for dipping without it falling apart in the warm coating.

WiseRecipes’ Top Tips for Perfect Cake Pops

These simple secrets will ensure your Oatmeal Creme Pie creations are flawless every time.

1. Use a Stand Mixer. While you can do this by hand, a stand mixer with the paddle attachment is the absolute best tool for this job. It breaks down the creme pies perfectly and combines the mixture into a uniform “dough” with minimal effort.
2. Don’t Overdo the Frosting. Oatmeal Creme Pies are already very moist and creamy. You only need a tiny amount of frosting to act as a binder. Start with the recommended amount—too much will make your pops greasy and too soft to hold their shape.
3. Chilling is Non-Negotiable. This is the most important step for cake pop success. A properly chilled, firm ball will be easy to handle and won’t fall apart when you dip it in the warm candy coating.
4. Almond Bark is Your Best Friend. For the smoothest, easiest, and most foolproof coating, use vanilla almond bark or candy melts. They are designed to melt perfectly and set up hard without any fuss. Regular white chocolate chips can be tricky to work with.
5. Garnish Immediately! Have your crumbled creme pie topping ready to go before you start dipping. The candy coating begins to set very quickly, and you need to add the garnish while it’s still wet so it will stick.

Keep Them Fresh! Storing Your Cake Pops

These are a perfect make-ahead treat! Here’s how to store them.

• Refrigerator: These cake pops must be stored in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese frosting. Place them in an airtight container in a single layer, or separated by wax paper. They will stay fresh and delicious for up to a week.
• Freezing: These freeze beautifully! Once the coating is fully set, place them in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 2 months. Let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

FAQs: Your Oatmeal Creme Pie Pop Questions, Answered!

Do I have to use Little Debbie brand?

Little Debbie is the classic and what the recipe is based on, but any similar brand of soft, individually wrapped oatmeal creme pies will work just fine!

My cake pops are too soft or greasy. What went wrong?

This is the most common issue, and it’s almost always because too much frosting was added. Oatmeal Creme Pies are already very moist and contain a cream filling, so they need very little binder. Start with a small amount of frosting and only add more if the crumbs are not coming together.

My almond bark coating is too thick. How can I fix it?

If your melted coating is too thick for smooth dipping, stir in a very small amount (about ½ teaspoon at a time) of vegetable oil, shortening, or paramount crystals. This will thin it out into a more fluid consistency. Be careful not to add too much!

Can I make these without a stand mixer?

You can, but it will be a good arm workout! You’ll need to crumble the creme pies as finely as you can by hand in a large bowl, then use a sturdy spatula or your hands to knead in the frosting until a uniform dough forms.
