Ingredients

  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped coarsely
  • 1 1/2 lbs store-bought fruit cake
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 36 None pop sticks
  • 36 None red candy-coated chocolates
  • None None FOR THE ROYAL ICING
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Stir chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water until smooth (don't let water touch base of bowl).
  2. Using hands, crumble cake into a large bowl. Stir in chocolate, brandy and sifted powdered sugar. Using wet hands, shape level tablespoons of mixture into balls, squeezing firmly. Place balls on prepared pan. Freeze for 1 hour or refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight, until firm.
  3. For the royal icing, sift powdered sugar through a fine sieve. Lightly beat the egg white into a medium bowl until mixture is foamy. Beat in the powdered sugar 1 tbsp at a time, until it reaches desired consistency. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the lemon juice.
  4. Dip the end of one stick into the royal icing, then push it halfway into a ball of cake. Return to pan. Repeat with remaining sticks and balls of cake. Place pan in the freezer for about 5 mins to set.
  5. Drizzle royal icing over cake balls. Top each with a chocolate candy. Stand pops upright in a styrofoam block until set.
