Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups candy melts (various colors)
- 12 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350?F (175?C). Grease a baking pan and prepare cake mix according to package instructions using eggs and butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Add frosting and mix until combined; the mixture should hold together when squeezed.
- Roll mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt candy melts according to package instructions. Dip each lollipop stick halfway into the melted candy before inserting it into each cake ball.
- Dip each ball into melted candy melts, allowing excess to drip off. Decorate immediately with sprinkles or toppings if desired, then place upright in foam or styrofoam to set.
