Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) frozen pound cake (I used Sara Lee frozen All Butter Pound Cake)
2 cups dark chocolate wafers or dark chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers)
3-4 tablespoons sprinkles for topping , if desired

Instructions

Remove pound cake from freezer and allow to thaw just slightly (about 5-10 minutes). This will make cutting the cake easier. However, you want it to remain mostly frozen so that the cake does not crumble when dipped into the melted chocolate.
Line a large baking pan (or a flat surface) with parchment paper.
Cut pound cake into quarters the long way, then cut into about 8-10 slices. From there, cut into cubes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, melt dark chocolate wafers/chips on medium power in microwave, stirring every 15 seconds so it doesn't burn, until smooth.
Working one at a time, dip each pound cake cube into melted chocolate, ensuring all sides are covered. Place onto parchment paper. Top with sprinkles. Repeat until all cubes are coated with chocolate.
Place the pan into the fridge to harden chocolate for faster results. You could also just keep on the counter, if desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

Pound cake: I used a frozen pound cake because it will be easier to dip into the melted chocolate without having the cake crumble. If you would like to use a non-frozen cake, place it into the freezer to firm until mostly frozen so it is easier to dip into chocolate.
