Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (432 g) Duncan Hines® French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 1 cup (250 mL) water
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) Duncan Hines® Vanilla Frosting
  • 1 (99 g) Snack Pack® Chocolate Pudding Cup
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground nutmeg
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) coconut oil, melted
  • 8 oz (250 g) chocolate candy melts, melted
  • 14 lollipop sticks
  • 28 candy eyes
  • 14 red candies
  • 28 pretzel twists
  • PAM® Baking Spray

Directions

  • Step one

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) for metal and glass pan (or 325°F/160°C for dark or coated pan). Grease sides and bottom of 13- x 9-inch (3 L) baking pan with PAM® Baking Spray; dust lightly with flour.

  • Step two

    Blend cake mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl at low speed until moistened (about 30 seconds). Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake immediately.

  • Step three

    Bake for 23 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes; transfer directly to rack and let cool completely.

  • Step four

    Crumble 5 cups (1.25 L) cake (reserve remaining cake for another use).

  • Step five

    Place cake crumbles in large bowl. Beat in frosting, Pudding Cup, cinnamon and nutmeg until dough starts to form. Shape into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) balls and transfer to parchment paper–lined tray. Freeze for about 15 minutes or until firm.

  • Step six

    Stir coconut oil into melted candy melts; dip tips of lollipop sticks into mixture and insert into each ball. Freeze for about 5 minutes or until set. Dip cake pops into remaining candy melt mixture, gently shaking excess back into bowl; place in plastic foam to stand upright.

  • Step seven

    Decorate cake pops to resemble reindeer with candy eyes, red candy for nose and pretzels for antlers. Let stand until set.
