Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 can (16 oz) frosting (any flavor)
- 1 lb chocolate candy melts (in your choice of color)
- Lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or edible decorations (optional)
- Wax paper or a cake pop stand
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix package instructions. Prepare a baking pan as directed.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake according to package instructions. Once baked, let it cool completely.
- Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl. Add the frosting and mix until well combined.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a wax paper-lined tray.
- Once all the balls are rolled, freeze them for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it halfway into a cake ball. This helps to secure the stick.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- If desired, decorate with sprinkles or edible decorations while the chocolate is still wet.
- Place the finished cake pops upright in a cake pop stand or on wax paper to set.
- Let the chocolate harden completely before serving.
Notes
- For a fun theme, use colored candy melts that match your school colors.
- Store cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- You can add flavor extracts to the frosting for a unique twist.
