Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (vanilla or chocolate)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup frosting (store-bought)
- 12 oz chocolate melts (for coating)
- 10 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan lightly. In a bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, and softened butter according to package instructions. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- After cooling, crumble the cake into fine pieces in a large bowl.
- Mix half of the frosting with the crumbled cake until a dough-like consistency forms; add more frosting if needed.
- Roll mixture into one-inch balls and chill on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate melts according to package instructions. Dip one end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and insert it halfway into each ball.
- Coat each pop with melted chocolate and place back on parchment paper to set.
- Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet, then let them harden completely at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.
