Ingredients
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 eggs (or amount specified on cake mix box)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or amount specified on cake mix box)
  • 1 cup water (or amount specified on cake mix box)
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 24 ounces white candy wafer melts
Directions
  1. Bake the cake according to package directions in a 13x9-inch pan using the egg, oil, and water amounts listed on the package. Let cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cake into small pieces in a large bowl.
  3. In another large bowl, mix the melted unsweetened chocolate, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, using an electric mixer.
  4. Add the frosting to the cake crumbles, and mix until combined, using your hands or a spatula. The mixture should hold together when you squeeze it gently with your hands.
  5. Roll the mixture into 1 ½-inch balls, then flatten each ball slightly and form into an oval to resemble an egg.
  6. Place on wax paper and freeze for 10 minutes.
  7. While the cake pops are in the freezer, melt the candy melts according to package directions.
  8. Place half of the melted mixture into a bowl, and divide the other half among three smaller bowls. (If you don't want to color the cake pops, just keep all of the melted mixture in one bowl.)
  9. Dye the three smaller bowls with food coloring using your desired colors.
  10. Dip the end of a cake pop stick into the melted mixture (doesn't matter which color), then place into the center of an "egg" to make a cake pop. Repeat with the remaining cake pop sticks and freeze for another 10 minutes.
  11. Remove the cake pops form the freezer, a few at a time, and dip in the melted mixtures (either white or dyed) as desired.
  12. While the cake pops are still wet, add sprinkles as desired.
  13. If you'd like to create stripes, pour some of the dyed mixture into a sandwich-size resealable bag and snip off the corner.
  14. Drizzle from the snipped end of the bag onto the cake pops as desired.
  15. Allow the cake pops to harden fully before serving.
