Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 can of frosting (any flavor)
- Cake pop sticks
- Candy melts or chocolate chips

Directions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake the cake and let it cool completely.
- Crumble the baked cake into a large bowl. Make sure there are no large chunks.
- Add the can of frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix well until the cake and frosting are combined.
- Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Insert a cake pop stick into each cake ball. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the cake pops.
- While the cake pops are chilling, melt the candy melts or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted candy or chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. You can use a spoon to help coat the cake pops evenly.
- Decorate the cake pops with sprinkles, nuts, or other decorations while the coating is still wet.
- Place the decorated cake pops back on the baking sheet and let them cool completely. If desired, you can refrigerate them for a short time to speed up the process.
- Once the cake pops are fully set and cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a platter or display them in a cake pop stand for an eye-catching presentation.
