Start by making the brownies for the cake pops. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease a 9x13 can pan with baking spray.
Mix all of the ingredients for the brownies together in a large bowl. Mix until the batter is smooth then pour it into the prepared pan. Spread the batter into an even layer in the pan.
1 box Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie Mix, ¼ cup water, ⅔ cup vegetable oil, 2 Eggs
Bake the brownies for about 25 minutes. The top of the brownies will look flakey and the edges of the brownies will be pulling away from the sides of the pan.
Let the brownies cool completely.
Cut the brownies out of the pan and place them all into a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer on low speed to mash the brownies, making a very thick, smooth paste. The brownies should look like thick cookie dough.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the brownie mix into small balls. Use your hands to roll each scoop into a smooth, round ball then place the ball on a clean plate or tray. You should get about 30 round balls of cake. (This will depend on the exact size cookie scoop you use.)
Place the candy melts in a large mug. Microwave the candy melts for 30 seconds then stir and microwave for another 30 seconds. Keep heating the candy melts for 30 seconds and stirring until they are completely melted and smooth.
12 ounces of milk chocolate candy melts
Dip the tip of each lollipop stick in the candy melts then push the dipped stick into each cake pop. The chocolate on the stick will help the stick adhere to the brownie ball.
30 lollipop sticks
Place the brownie balls with the sticks in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
Use the stick to pick up the brownie pop and dunk the brownie ball into the smooth candy melts chocolate. Coat the ball completely then shake it off gently, letting the excess chocolate drip back into the mug.
Place the stick of the cake pop in a block of styrofoam and add the white sprinkles to the cake pop while the chocolate is wet. Let the cake pop dry in the styrofoam block. This helps keep the perfectly round shape.
Dip all of the cake pops and add sprinkles after you dip each one. Once the cake pops are dry, they are ready to serve!
