Bake a cake from a cake mix (any flavor). Allow to fully cool.
Spoon the cake into a large mixing bowl and add 2/3 a container of frosting.
Use your clean hands to mix together the frosting and cake.
Form your cake pop batter into small balls, about 3-4 tablespoons each. You don’t want them to be too big, just so they easily fit in the palm of your hand.
Once you have formed all your pops (a standard size cake will make around 35-40 pops), put them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or the freezer for half an hour.
While those are in the refrigerator, melt the candy melts and get your other supplies ready.
Dip the end of cake pop stick in the melted chocolate.
Push the stick 2/3 through a cold cake pop.
Dip the pop in the melted chocolate.
Allow any excess chocolate to drip off the pop.
