Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the cake mix according to the box instructions, mixing the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water. Pour into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Crumble the cooled cake into small pieces in a large bowl. Gradually add frosting starting with ½ cup and mix until sticky.
  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
  • Melt 2 ounces of candy melts, dip lollipop sticks in chocolate and insert halfway into each cake ball. Chill for 10 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining candy melts. Dip each cake pop entirely in chocolate and tap off excess.
  • Before the coating hardens, decorate with sprinkles or candy eyeballs. Get creative!
  • Place pops upright in a block or box to dry completely for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

Notes

To maintain texture, avoid refreezing once thawed. Cake pops can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, refrigerated for 1 week, or frozen for up to 2 months.
