Ingredients

• 1 9x13 inch cake Prepared cake
• 1 cup Frosting
• 2 cups Chocolate candy melts
• 24 Cake pop sticks
• 1 cup Sprinkles or decorations
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Bake a 9x13 inch cake according to your favorite recipe and let it cool completely.

Step 2

Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl. The texture should be fine and even.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix well with your hands or a spatula until fully combined and the mixture holds together.

Step 4

Use a scoop or your hands to form the mixture into approximately 1.5-inch balls. You should have about 24 cake balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Melt 1/4 cup of the candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

Step 6

Dip one end of each cake pop stick into the melted candy, then insert it about halfway into a cake ball. This helps secure the stick.

Step 7

Refrigerate the cake pops for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 8

In the meantime, melt the remaining chocolate candy melts with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir until smooth, adding more oil if necessary to reach a liquid consistency.

Step 9

Once the cake pops are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let excess drip off back into the bowl.

Step 10

While the coating is still wet, sprinkle your desired decorations over each cake pop.

Step 11

Stand each pop upright in a foam block or place on parchment paper until the coating is set.

Step 12

Once the chocolate hardens, your cake pops are ready to enjoy!
