Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Strawberry Cake Mix
- Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
- 1 tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Strawberry Mist™ Frosting
- 3 cups pink candy melts

Instructions
-
Step1Make and bake cake mix as directed on box in 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
-
Step2With fingers, crumble cake into fine crumbs into large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the frosting; with fork, work frosting into cake crumbs. Continue to add frosting by tablespoonfuls as needed, adding just enough frosting to create a thick, clay-like mixture.
-
Step3Shape mixture into 1- to 1 1/2-inch balls; place on sheet of parchment paper.
-
Step4Place candy melts in small deep bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring melted candy until smooth.
-
Step5Dip end of each lollipop stick into melted candy, then insert stick firmly into center of 1 cake ball; place on parchment paper. Let stand until candy is hard.
-
Step6Meanwhile, microwave chewy candies, one by one, on High 4 to 6 seconds. Roll each candy until flat with rolling pin. When cool, use kitchen scissors to cut candy into 2 small teardrop shapes; pinch ends to create ears.
-
Step7For each popper, gently dip 1 cake ball into melted candy; quickly lift and allow candy to drip back into bowl. Turn cake popper right side up, gently press 2 candy ears into top of popper. Carefully attach 2 blue candy sprinkles for eyes and 1 pink candy sprinkle for nose. Gently press cake popper into plastic foam to allow candy to harden.

Step8Use food-safe marker to draw whiskers and bunny mouths.
