Method

Bake the Cake: Prepare red velvet cake according to package or homemade recipe. Let it cool completely.
Crumble the Cake: In a large bowl, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
Mix with Frosting: Add cream cheese frosting and mix until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Shape the Pops: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a lined baking tray.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate wafers with vegetable oil using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Insert Sticks: Dip cake pop sticks into melted chocolate and insert into each cake ball. Let it set for a few minutes.
Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Tap off excess.
Decorate: Add sprinkles or decorations before the coating sets.
Set and Serve: Place coated cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or on a lined tray to harden. Enjoy!

Notes

For a smoother coating, use high-quality melting chocolate.
Store cake pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Try different coatings like dark chocolate or drizzle with colored chocolate for variety.
