1packageWilton candy melts (I used Colorburst Brights)12 oz.

Instructions
Prepare and bake the cake mix using the ingredients listed on the box. Allow cake to cool completely.
Crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add about half of the can of frosting and mix well. You want the mixture to stick together without being "goopy." You may need to add more or less depending on your cake and preference. Using a small cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon, make 15 cake balls and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about an hour. With the remaining cake mix, stuff 15 ice cream cones and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts according to package directions. Dip just the top of the open end of the cone into the melted candy (carefully, as not to lose any of the cake inside) and immediately dip the bottom of one of the cake balls into the candy melts. "Glue" the cake ball onto the top of the ice cream cone and set aside to completely set. Repeat with remaining cake pops.
Once the cake pops have set completely, re-melt the candy melts in the bowl and dip the cake ball into the candy, completely covering the cake ball. Allow excess to drip off. Set upright and allow the candy to harden. Repeat with remaining cake pops.
Place the DOVE Dark Chocolates in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave in 10-15 second increments until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Spoon a small amount of the chocolate over the top of the cake pop. Using the back of the spoon, form the chocolate to look like chocolate syrup. Immediately insert a red button candy on the top and add a few sprinkles. Set upright and allow the candy to completely harden. Repeat with remaining cake pops.
Notes
You can always make cake pops on sticks if you prefer.
