For a richer flavor, try using a chocolate cake mix and cream cheese frosting. If the candy melts are too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to thin them out. Get creative with your decorations! Use different colors of candy melts, sprinkles, edible glitter, or even small candies. To prevent the cake pops from falling off the sticks, make sure the cake mixture is well-chilled before rolling. Store the finished cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
