Easy Chocolate Cake Pops

This chocolate cake pop recipe couldn’t be easier or more delicious, so grab your popsicle sticks and start not baking.

(Oh, and did we mention this is a no-bake cake pops recipe?)

These cake pops may look fancy, but they’re super easy to make and you can turn this into a fun family activity.

Chocolate Shakeology provides the creamy chocolatey flavor base, and for an extra chocolate kick, we dip these cake pops in melted chocolate. (!!)

If you’ve always wanted to learn how to make cake pops, this recipe is a great introduction to making these fun treats.

And don’t stop with this recipe. Try one (or all!) of these energy ball recipes — you can turn almost any no-bake energy ball recipe into an easy cake pop recipe!

Pro tips:

• If you don’t have lollipop or cake pop sticks, you can use popsicle sticks, toothpicks, or whole cinnamon sticks. Or, make cake balls — no sticks required!
• To decorate cake pops, immediately after dipping in chocolate dip them in finely chopped nuts, graham cracker crumbs, or finely chopped coconut flakes. Additional toppings will affect nutrition information.
• Add festive color by placing finely chopped coconut flakes in a plastic bag with a drop or two of food coloring; massage between your fingertips until color is evenly distributed.
• For a holiday treat, these can also be sprinkled with finely crushed peppermint candy — a little goes a long way.
• Make an easy, DIY cake pop stand by poking small holes into the lid of a small cardboard box.
