Ingredients

1 package (15-1/4 ounces) vanilla cake mix
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
30 cake pop sticks
2 cups white candy coating disks
Sprinkles, for topping

Directions

Prepare cake according to package directions. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium-low; slowly add confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Increase mixer speed to medium-high; beat until fluffy, 2-3 more minutes. Crumble the cooled cake into the bowl with the frosting. Beat on low speed until combined, 2-3 minutes. Scoop tablespoonfuls of cake mixture; form into smooth balls. Place on baking sheets; insert sticks. Freeze for at least 2 hours or refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until cake balls are firm.
In a microwave, melt candy coating. Dip each cake ball in coating; allow excess to drip off. Roll, sprinkle or drizzle with toppings of your choice. Insert cake pops into a foam block to stand. Let stand until set.
