- 1 cup candy melts or chocolate for coating Use any type of chocolate
- 1 cup sprinkles for decoration Choose colors that fit the occasion

Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools. Preheat your oven according to the cake mix box instructions, and prepare your baking pan.
- Bake the cake mix according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, transfer the cake to a large bowl and crumble it using your hands until it resembles fine crumbs.
- Add 1/2 cup of frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix thoroughly until fully combined.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a ping pong ball. Insert a popsicle stick into each ball.
- Place the shaped popsicles on a lined baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Coating and Decorating
- While the popsicles are freezing, melt the candy melts or chocolate according to the package instructions.
- Remove the popsicles from the freezer. Dip each popsicle into the melted coating, allowing excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
- Before the coating sets, sprinkle your choice of decorations on top.
- Place the coated popsicles back onto the lined baking sheet and let them cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
Store leftover popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months. Ensure a piece of parchment paper is placed between popsicles to prevent sticking.
