  • Total Time: 4 hours
  • Yield: 20 cake pops 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Chocolate coating or candy melts
  • Optional: Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fall-themed decorations

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Mix the yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice until well blended, then pour into a greased baking pan and bake as directed. Cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then mix into the crumbled cake. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Shape the chilled mixture into small balls, insert lollipop sticks, and freeze for at least 1 hour.
  4. Melt chocolate coating or candy melts as instructed. Dip each frozen cake pop into the melted chocolate, tap off excess, and decorate with sprinkles or fall-themed toppers. Let set upright in a styrofoam block.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to prevent excess moisture.
  • Chill the cake mixture for better shaping and coating results.
  • Use high-quality chocolate or candy melts for a glossy finish.
  • Decorate with seasonal sprinkles or toppers for a festive look.
