Instructions
Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Grease and flour a baking pan or line it with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and oil according to the instructions. Stir until blended.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick.
Cool Down: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a mixing bowl.
Mix with Frosting: Add about 1/2 cup of frosting to the cake crumbs, mixing until a dough-like consistency forms.
Form Cake Balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
Chill the Balls: Refrigerate for about 30-45 minutes, or freeze for about 15.
Melt the Coating: Melt your candy melts according to the package instructions.
Dip the Sticks: Dip each lollipop stick into the melted coating and insert it into a cake ball.
Coat the Cake Balls: Dip each ball into the melted candy melts and tap off excess.
Decorate with Sprinkles: Sprinkle Halloween-themed decorations on top before the coating hardens.
Final Chill: Let the cake pops chill for about 15 minutes.
