Ingredients

  • 1 box Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix 16.5 oz box
  • *Plus ingredients to prepare the cake on the back of the box
  • 1/3 cup Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 8 oz. White Candy Melts
  • 8 oz. Red Candy Melts
  • 8 oz. Green Candy Melts
  • Christmas Sprinkles
  • Lollipop Sticks

Instructions

  • Make cake and bake according to box instructions in a 9X13 pan. Then let the cake cool at room temperature.
  • Remove the cake from the pan. Remove the brown outside layer from the cake and throw it away. Crumble up the remaining cake into a large bowl.
  • Add the frosting to your crumbled cake and stir everything together until well combined.
  • Shape mixture into about 24-36 cake balls (depending on their size) and place on a lined cookie sheet. I used a cookie scoop to ensure that each one is approximately the same size.
  • Gently place each cake pop stick into the cake balls about halfway into the balls. Then place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Place each of the candy melts in a separate microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted. Be careful not to over heat.
  • Dip each cake pop into 1 color of the melted candy melts. Make sure that the candy covers the cake pop completely. Allow the excess melted candy to drip off back into the bowl.
  • Then place the stick of cake pops in a block of styrofoam. Top the cake pops with the sprinkles before the candy coating dries.
  • Continue until all the cake pops have been covered. Once all the cake pops are dry, they are ready to serve and enjoy!
