Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vanilla frosting
  • 1 package (12 oz) candy melts
  • 1 tbsp vegetable shortening
  • Sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, water, oil, and eggs until smooth. Pour into the pan.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  4. Crumble the cake into fine crumbs in the same bowl. Mix in frosting until dough forms.
  5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Melt candy melts with shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip lollipop sticks into melted candy, then insert into cake balls. Dip fully and decorate with sprinkles.
  8. Let set upright in a foam block or cup until hardened.

Notes
