Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prepare the box cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake for 25-30 minutes and let cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake in a large mixing bowl and mix with 1/2 to 1 cup of frosting until it resembles a sticky dough.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Chill for 1-2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt candy melts in the microwave. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melts and insert into the center of each cake ball.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Set aside on parchment paper.
- While the coating is still warm, decorate with candy eyeballs, sprinkles, or colored sugar.
- Place the finished cake pops upright in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand and let dry completely.

Notes
Ensure cake balls are firm before inserting sticks to prevent them from falling apart. Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
