Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings 48 cake pops

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box spice cake mix
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 48 lollipop sticks
  • Sprinkles for decorating optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the spice cake mix as directed, but replace eggs and oil with 1 can of pumpkin purée. Bake in a 9×13 pan at the instructed temperature for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool fully—at least an hour or speed up by refrigerating for 30 minutes.
  • Break the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands until it resembles wet sand.
  • In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  • Mix the cream cheese mixture into the cake crumbs until it reaches a play-dough consistency. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Freeze the cake balls for 15-20 minutes until firm but not frozen solid.
  • Microwave white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. If thick, add a little vegetable oil to thin it out.
  • Dip each lollipop stick tip into melted chocolate, then insert it halfway into a cake ball. Freeze for 5 more minutes to set.
  • Fully coat each pop in melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Tap gently for a smooth finish. Add sprinkles before the coating sets.
  • Stand cake pops in a styrofoam block to dry for 30 minutes. If pops start slipping off sticks, chill them a few more minutes before continuing.
