Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crumble the 2 cups cake into a large bowl, removing any hard edges. Add the 1/4 cup frosting and mix with your hands until the mixture holds together when pressed.

  2. Step 2

    Roll the mixture into 12 balls, about 1.5 inches each. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes, until firm.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the 1.5 cups chocolate chips in a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it halfway into a cake ball. Repeat for all 12 balls.

  5. Step 5

    Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Gently tap off excess chocolate.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle the 2 tbsp sprinkles over the coated pops before the chocolate sets. Stand them upright in a styrofoam block or stick them into a cake to hold.

  7. Step 7

    Let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 15 minutes, until firm. Serve and enjoy.
