Bake the cake according to package instructions and let it cool completely.
Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl.
Add half a can of frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until combined.
Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the cake balls for about 15 minutes to firm up.
Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy and insert it into a cake ball.
Dip each cake ball into the melted candy, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Place the coated cake pops back on the parchment paper and decorate with sprinkles if desired.
