Using a cake pop scoop or cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll between your hands forming a ball.

In a small bowl add about 1/4 cup of candy melts and melt in the microwave 30 seconds at a time.

Take each cake pop stick or paper straw and dip the tip in the melted candy melts.

Immediately slide it halfway into each cake ball.

While cake pops are in the freezer, melt the remaining candy melts in the microwave.

Once melted, add in Crisco and stir until smooth.

Pour candy melts into a tall skinny glass.

One at a time, dip each cake pop into the candy melts. Don't swirl or tap on the side of the glass.
