Cake Pops

1 Box cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box)

Frosting (i use my own cream cheese frosting recipe):
1/4 stick of butter
1/4 (8oz) package cream cheese
1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 t vanilla extract

2 bags chocolate candy melts
candy sticks
shortening

Bake the cake, follow directions as indicated on box. Then crumble into a bowl.

Mix the frosting together and then add two or three spoon fulls to the cake mix. i usually have about 1/2 of the frosting left over. You just need enough to help the cake stick together.

Then roll into balls and chill.

Melt the chocolate, you can add the shortening if you need to thin it out. Dip the candy sticks into the chocolate and then stick into the cake pops. Make sure you push the stick most of the way through but not out the top. The by the time you are done the chocolate should have hardened and you can dip your cake pops in the chocolate. I usually take another color of chocolate and make a cute design on top. They only need to cool until the chocolate hardens.

One cake mix makes about 50-60 pops.
