Ingredients

200 g leftover madeira cake ( or any other sponge cake)
¼ cup condensed milk
100 g milk chocolate
50 g white chocolate
Christmas sprinkles to decorate

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Cut the leftover cake into cubes, and add them to a food processor.
Blitz until you get breadcrumbs.
Add the condensed milk and blitz again to get a sticky mixture.
Use your hands to shape balls - I got 11, but you can get more or less, depending on the size of the balls.
Break the milk chocolate into pieces, and add them to a bowl set over a pan with simmering water, that is set on a low heat.
Melt the chocolate completely, then add the balls one by one and coat them well in chocolate.
Transfer the chocolate-coated balls on a tray lined with non-stick paper, and leave to set completely.
Break the white chocolate into pieces and melt it in the same way.
Use a teaspoon to top each ball with a small dollop of white chocolate, then add the sprinkles.
Leave to firm up completely before serving.

I absolutely loved these Christmas Cake Pops, they were so delicious, and they kept fresh for many days before they were finally demolished - even if the cake was already 3-4 days old, the pops lasted well for 4-5 days after as well, just keep them refrigerated, and they will be fine.
If you don't want to go for a Christmas pudding look, you can still get christmassy pops by adding Christmas sprinkles, it's amazing what a few sprinkles can do to transform anything into the best festive dessert.
Alternatively, you can use marzipan or sugar paste to cut out hollies and berries, or any other festive decorations - the more, the merrier. And that's it, a fabulous Christmas dessert that will go down a treat with kids and grown-ups too!
