Ingredients

  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate frosting
  • 1 package of lollipop sticks
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles or candy decorations (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix well until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for the time recommended on the box or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
  5. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl, breaking it apart into fine crumbs.
  6. Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake and mix well until the cake crumbs are evenly coated.
  7. Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into small balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  8. Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball, pushing it about halfway through.
  9. Refrigerate the cake pops for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  10. In the meantime, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  11. Remove the cake pops from the refrigerator and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring that they are completely coated.
  12. If desired, decorate the cake pops with sprinkles or candy decorations before the chocolate hardens.
  13. Return the decorated cake pops to the baking sheet and let them set until the chocolate coating is firm.
  14. Once the cake pops are fully set, they are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at room temperature or chilled for a delicious treat!
