Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your cake mix as directed, mixing in eggs, oil, and water until smooth. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Gradually mix in frosting until the mixture resembles a sticky dough that can hold its shape.
  3. Form the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and chill them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or freeze for about 30 minutes.
  4. Melt a small amount of candy melts and dip one end of each stick into it before inserting it into each cake ball.
  5. Melt the remaining candy melts and dip each cake pop, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before setting them upright to dry.
  6. While the coating is still wet, decorate with sprinkles, candy eyeballs, or your chosen embellishments.
  7. Allow the decorated cake pops to set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before enjoying.
