Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate or vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients required by the mix)
- 1 cup ready-made frosting (chocolate or vanilla)
- 12 oz chocolate or candy melts (in various colors)
- Popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or decorating supplies (orange and black sprinkles, edible eyes, candy decorations)
Instructions
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. Allow it to cool completely before handling.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until you have fine crumbs.
- Add the frosting to the crumbled cake, mixing until fully incorporated. The mixture should be moist but not overly sticky.
- Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Dip the end of each stick into melted candy coating before inserting it into each ball to help it stay in place. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Melt the remaining candy coating in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted candy coating, allowing excess to drip off before placing back on the parchment paper.
- Add sprinkles or decorations while the coating is still wet.
- Allow the cake pops to set at room temperature or refrigerate until fully set.
Notes
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to avoid a gooey texture. Use a tall glass or foam block to hold the cake pops while they set.
