Instructions

Prepare and bake the yellow cake mix with water, oil, and eggs in a 9×13-inch pan according to package directions, then let it cool completely.
Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until you have fine crumbs with no large chunks remaining.
Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbs and mix until a sticky dough forms that holds its shape when squeezed.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes, then roll into 1.5-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet.
Melt a small amount of candy melts, dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the coating, and push it halfway into a cake ball; repeat for all pops and freeze for 20 minutes.
Melt the remaining candy melts in a deep bowl, dip each pop straight down to submerge, tap off the excess coating, and add sprinkles before the shell hardens.

Notes

Ensure the cake is entirely cold before crumbling to avoid a gummy interior. If the candy coating is too thick for dipping, stir in a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to reach a smoother consistency for a more professional finish.
