Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix Follow the instructions on the box for further ingredients.
  • as per box instructions Eggs Refer to the cake mix instructions.
  • as per box instructions Oil Refer to the cake mix instructions.
  • as per box instructions Water Refer to the cake mix instructions.
For the Filling and Coating
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting
  • 1 package chocolate candy coating
  • as needed pieces Lollipop sticks
  • as needed tablespoons Sprinkles Optional for decoration.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions and prepare a baking pan with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
  2. Mix the red velvet cake batter as per the cake mix instructions and pour it into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, then let it cool completely.
  3. Once the cake cools, crumble it thoroughly into a large bowl using your fingers.
  4. Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until everything is evenly combined.
  5. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the cake mixture and roll it into a ball. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture has been rolled into balls.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate candy coating, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  7. Dip one end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and insert it into the center of a cake ball, about halfway.
  8. Dip each cake pop in the melted chocolate coating and allow excess chocolate to drizzle off.
  9. If desired, add sprinkles before the coating sets.
  10. Place the cake pops upright in a glass or foam block to harden. Once the chocolate is set, they are ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

For a healthier twist, use Greek yogurt instead of some frosting. Make sure the cake is completely cool before crumbling to avoid a gooey mixture.
