If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m a big fan of cute desserts. So when we have our twice monthly potluck at our clubhouse, I always bring something cute. People have sort of gotten used to that by now.

I try to keep them with the season, so when it’s summertime, I can make these adorable No Bake Watermelon Cake Pops.

They’re not traditional cake pops, made from leftover cake and mixed with icing. Instead, these are no bake cake pops. Which is perfect for summer because honestly, no one wants to turn on the oven and bake during the summer.

No Bake Watermelon Cake Pops Ingredients:

• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 1 package white cake mix
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 10 drops pink food coloring
• 2 packages green candy melts

How To Make No Bake Watermelon Cake Pops:

Let the butter come to room temperature, then cream the butter.

If your butter is taking a while to come to room temperature, you can put it in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. You don’t want to melt it. That won’t work. You need it to be thick and creamy, which is why you can’t melt it (but also why it can’t be cold-cold either because it won’t be creamy that way).

Add the white cake mix and flour to the butter. Mix until slightly combined.

Add in the chocolate chips.

Add in the food coloring.

Stir until the color is throughout.

It’s a lot easier (and quicker) if you mix this by hand, sort of like you’re kneading a dough. That will distribute the color quicker than using a spoon to stir.

Use a melon baller to scoop balls of the batter.

Roll them in your hands into a circle or oval (because watermelon can be both) and put them onto cookie sheet. We line ours with a silicone baking mat, but if you don’t have one, you can use parchment paper.

Continue until you’re out of batter. You should be able to make about four dozen.

Put the cookie sheet in the freeze for an hour until they harden.

In a microwavable safe bowl, microwave the green candy melts according to the package.

The easiest way to do this is to microwave them for a minute and stir completely. If they’re not melted, microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir until the candy melts are melted.

What’s great about using candy melts is that if they harden before you’re done, you can simply put them back in the microwave. And if you microwave them for too long, they won’t burn like chocolate chips. Instead, you just want to add some coconut oil into bowl and stir it. This will smooth the candy melts out to allow you to dip the cake pops.

Drop the cake ball into the green candy melts, coating all sides. Use a fork to remove it and shake off any excess candy melts.

Put them back on the silicone baking mat-lined cookie sheet. Continue until they’re all done.

Stick the cookie sheet in the freezer for about an hour until the green candy melts harden.
