Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan with baking spray.
2. Whisk the cake mix, water, oil and eggs together until well combined. Pour into the pan and bake according to the package directions. Let the cake cool completely.
3. Line a small baking sheet or plate with wax or parchment paper that will fit in your fridge.
4. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add the frosting and mix, by hand with a wooden spoon or on low speed with a hand mixer (about 30 seconds), until crumbly like wet sand and not pasty.
5. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and set them on the lined sheet; they can touch. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
6. Melt the candy melts or chocolate wafers following the package instructions, and pour into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or tall glass.
7. Keep most of the cake balls cold in the fridge and take out a few at a time; if they were frozen, move them to the fridge. Dip a lollipop stick tip in the coating, push it about halfway into a cake ball, then dip the ball, covering where the stick meets it, and turn to coat. Lift out and tap the side of the cup gently to drip off excess.
8. Add sprinkles if you like, then stand the pop upright in a cake pop holder until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Reheat the coating as needed while coating the rest.
