Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 F. Bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely.

Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well with spoon. Roll cake mixture into 1-inch balls; place on cooke sheet. Freeze about 15 minutes or until firm. Refrigerate to keep chilled.

In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating on Medium (50%) 1 minute, then in 15-second intervals, until melted; stir until smooth. Remove a few cake balls from the refrigerator at a time so the rest remain chilled. Dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into candy coating and insert stick straight into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Dip cake pop into melted coating; immediately insert mint on tip for pumpkin stem. Hold candy in place until set, 1 to 2 minutes. (Reheat coating in microwave if it is too thick to coat.)

Carefully insert stick into Styrofoam block. Repeat steps with remaining cake balls. Using decorating pen, draw jack-o'-lantern face on each pumpkin.
