Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 box spice cake mix (13.25 oz)
  • 15 oz pure pumpkin (1 can) Provides moisture and nutrition
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese frosting For binding the cake pops
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips For coating the cake pops
  • as needed Fall themed sprinkles Optional for decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the spice cake mix and pumpkin until very thick.
  3. Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool for about 1 hour.
  5. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a bowl, add the cream cheese frosting, and mix until a dough forms.
  6. Roll the dough into balls and place them on a plate.
Assembly
  1. Melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave. Dip one end of each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it into each cake pop.
  2. Freeze the cake pops for 15-20 minutes to firm them up.
  3. Melt the remaining white chocolate and dip the cake pops into it. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
Storage
  1. Store the cake pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

These cake pops can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Just make sure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
