Ingredients

  • 2 cups store-bought yellow or chocolate cake, crumbled
  • ½ cup canned frosting (cream cheese or vanilla)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 12 count lollipop sticks or wooden dowels
  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice or glaze (for dipping fruit cake pops)
  • ¼ cup crushed pineapple, drained

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix crumbled cake with frosting in a bowl until it resembles wet sand and holds together when squeezed.

  2. 2

    Roll mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined plate and chill for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until smooth.

  4. 4

    Insert a stick into each cake ball. Dip into melted chocolate, tap off excess, then roll in sprinkles.

  5. 5

    Stand pops upright in a glass or foam block to set, about 2 minutes, while you make pineapple cake pops.

  6. 6

    Mix crushed pineapple with remaining cake crumbs and frosting, roll into balls, dip in chocolate glaze, and set alongside.
