Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix crumbled cake with frosting until the mixture holds together when squeezed, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable.

  4. Step 4

    Insert a stick into each cake ball, then dip halfway into melted chocolate, rotating once for even coverage.

  5. Step 5

    Immediately sprinkle the wet chocolate with sprinkles or candy before it sets.

  6. Step 6

    Stand pops upright in a glass or vase to dry, about 5 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
