Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine red velvet cake mix with water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Pour into a greased 9x9 dish or two 8-inch round pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl aiming for fine crumbs. Reserve about ½ cup for decoration.
- Mix the crumbled cake with cream cheese frosting until it resembles a play-dough-like consistency.
- Roll the mixture into uniform balls, place on a lined baking sheet, and freeze for 1-2 hours until firm.
- Melt candy melts according to package instructions, stirring in intervals. If too thick, add coconut oil.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy before inserting it into the cake ball.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, allowing excess coating to drip off. Optionally sprinkle reserved crumbled cake on top.
- Place the dipped pops upright in a styrofoam block or cardboard box and let them sit until hard.
