Cutie Cake Lollipops with Tastefully Simple!

Cutie Cake Lollipops

Ingredients
• 1 pkg. Tastefully Simple Absolutely Almond Pound Cake Mix™
• 3/4 cup butter melted (1 1/2 sticks)
• 1 cup water
• 16 oz. cream cheese frosting
• Sprinkes or sanding sugar for decorating
• 20 oz. pkg. white almond bark (1 lb. 4 oz. pkg.)
• 60 lollipop sticks

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 3 ingredients; stir to blend. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and top is nicely browned. Cool completely.
2. Break pound cake into crumbs with a fork until you have small, uniform crumbs (the smaller the better for smooth lollipops). With a sturdy spoon, stir in ¾ of the cream cheese frosting; stir until a stiff dough forms.
3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; insert a lollipop stick into each ball. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Cover; chill 1 hour.
4. Melt almond bark as directed on package; pour into a small deep bowl. Dip each lollipop into the warm almond bark. Set on wax paper-lined baking sheet. Continue with the remaining lollipops. Decorate each with sprinkles, sanding sugar or a drizzle of melted brown almond bark. Makes about 5 dozen (60) lollipops.
