4. Pour into prepared cake pans and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly.
5. Remove from oven and turn out onto cooling racks. Cool completely.
6. Once cool, add cake to a large bowl and crumble.
7. Mix in frosting a little bit at a time until well-combined.
8. Form mixture into cake balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
9. Melt chocolate candy melts according to package instructions
10. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the chocolate candy melts and insert into cake balls.
