    Here is another fun treat I am sharing as part of our Pumpkin Week celebration. These festive pumpkin cake pops are moist and delicious and so adorable! There is something about cake pops that makes even my teenage sons' faces light up. They are just so delighted when I make cute little treats like this!

    Pumpkin cake works really well with this cake pop method, because it is so moist, I only had to use a little bit of frosting to make the pops. I love how the pumpkin flavor really stands out in these bite-sized goodies.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 box spice cake mix
    • 15 ounces pure pumpkin (1 can)
    • 2 tablespoons cream cheese frosting
    • 12 ounces white chocolate chips (1 package, or use white candy melts)
    • fall-themed sprinkles (optional)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    • Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
    • In a large bowl, mix together the spice cake mix and pumpkin. The batter will be very thick.
      1 box spice cake mix, 15 ounces pure pumpkin
    • Pour the batter into the baking dish.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Remove the cake from the oven and cool.
    • Once the cake is cool, break it into pieces and crumble it into a large bowl.
    • Add the cream cheese frosting, and mix the crumbs into it until you have a 'dough'. (I find it is easiest to just use my hands for this)
      2 tablespoons cream cheese frosting
    • Using a cookie dough scoop, or a spoon, scoop the dough, roll it into balls, and place on a plate or baking sheet.
    • Melt about ¼ cup of the white chocolate chips in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until smooth and melted, then dip the ends of the cake pop sticks in the white chocolate, and insert about halfway into the cake pops.
      12 ounces white chocolate chips
    • Place the cake pops in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes so the chocolate hardens. In the meantime, melt the rest of the white chocolate chips.
    • Remove the cake pops from the freezer and dip each into the melted white chocolate. Place back on the plate or baking sheet.
    • Decorate with sprinkles right away (if desired), before the white chocolate hardens.

      Please tell me the calories and fat in the nutritional information are for the entire recipe!?! Otherwise I don’t think I can bring myself to make this.

        Sorry! Something went wrong when I used the tool to calculate the nutrition values. It's fixed now. Thanks for the heads up!

      Hi there. Do you add the eggs and vegetable oil to cake mix like came mix box says? Or leave that out and just use cake powder mix that’s in the box and add pumpkin purée can to that and bake it with only those 2 ingredients?

        Yep, you are right, just the two ingredients for baking! Pay no attention to the directions on the box. 🙂

      I have made this recipe a few times already! Super easy and soooooo tasty! Bought some spice mix today so I can make them this weekend.. Would a splash of pumpkin spice emulsion added to the dough be over kill?

        Oh, I think that is a great idea for some extra pumpkin-y flavor! I would give it a shot. Try a little and then taste to see if you need more. You can always add more, but you can't take out what you already mixed in lol, so don't be afraid to just do a little at a time. Enjoy! Thanks for popping by! 🙂
