Cake pops were a HUGE hit!

WOW!
I know that our cake pops are yummalicious but I had no idea that it would be such a hit!
Yay!
I've been asked to post a tutorial. I didn't have much time so I kinda threw one together.
You will need:
cake mix - any flavor
frosting - any flavor
food processor/magic bullet/ninja
candy melts/chocolate chips (flavor and color of your choice)
sucker sticks
Make your cake according to directions on box (after making several batches of pops I tried making a cake in the microwave just to save a little time and it worked like a charm! I used a 9x13 pan and cooked it for about 10 minutes on 70% power). Let cake cool completely. Remove cake from pan using your hands. Tear small chunks and place them in your food processor. I used a ninja and I was able to fit the entire cake in at one time. Pulse the processor until the cake is in small crumbs.
Open your frosting and place a heaping spoon-full into processor. Pulse until well mixed. At this point its kinda up to you and what you prefer. The more frosting you add the 'gooier' your cake balls will be. I like mine a hair on the dry side so I use 2 heaping spoon-fulls. You want to add enough frosting to make the mixture soft and easy to roll into balls and to hold that shape. Now you can start rollin'. I rolled about ten or so and place them on a small plate and then put them in the freezer. I contiue this until all the mixture has been used. Once you have that done, its time to get out the candy melts.
