Line a baking sheet/sheet pan with wax paper or parchment paper. Get a styrofoam block ready to place the cake pops in when finished. 24 cake pop/lollipop sticks are needed.
Crumble the unfrosted baked chocolate cake into a large bowl. Mix in the frosting a little at a time. Don't add too much, so do in small amounts until you can form a ball that is still crumbly, but moldable.
Using a mini scooper, scoop out a ball that is about a tablespoon in size; roll tightly in clean hands. Repeat until all cake has been used. Place balls on the prepared sheet pan when formed.
Freeze until set, at least 10 minutes.
Add 4 c. white candy melts to a bowl; melt in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between each until fully melted.
Remove cake pops from the freezer. Dip each cake pop stick into the melted candy melts about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep to act like glue to help hold the cake ball onto the stick.
Insert dipped stick about half way through the cake pop ball; dip cake pop into the melted candy melts to coat completely; tap off excess chocolate that may drip. If using sprinkles, add while the chocolate is still wet.
Repeat for all remaining cake pops.
Place the finished cake pops into the styrofoam block to set up.
Makes about 24.
*If buying a store bought cake, buy one that is not frosted or remove the frosting from the top.
