SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE DELICIOUS CAKE POPS
You will need the following ingredients listed below to make these easy cake pops (the exact measurements, nutrition information and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):
- Chocolate boxed cake mix of choice – using a standard box cake mix is an easy way to save yourself tons of time in the kitchen, I used Betty Crocker, but you could also make a homemade cake if preferred. Vanilla cake will also work but will yield different flavors.
- Frosting of choice – used Betty Crocker Vanilla Frosting. A regular chocolate frosting or cream cheese frosting would also be great.
- Oreo Cookies
- White candy melts – The candy melts act as the candy coating. Could also use white almond bark.
- Lollipop stick/cake pop sticks: Because what’s a cake pop without a stick?
- Optional – block of cream cheese, coconut oil, chocolate cookies, popsicle sticks, etc.
HOW TO MAKE
Start by preparing your cake batter by package directions.
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or two 8×8-inch round cake dishes and bake in a 350 degree F oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, remove the oreo cream from the oreos, and blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor till they become fine crumbs. Set aside.
Let the baked cake cool completely, then crumble it with a fork in a large bowl or in the baking dish. Stir the frosting and oreo cream into the crumbled cake, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until chilled.
Use a cookie scoop and your hands to roll the mixture into evenly sized small balls and place on large baking sheet. You want to try make them all a consistent size – aim for the size of a ping pong ball.
Freeze again until balls are hard.
Once they have been frozen, I give them another little roll to smooth out the sides. Then place on a cookie sheet.
Melt candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals or in a double boiler. Dip lollipop sticks into the melted chocolate, then stick into one of the frozen cake balls.
Do this with all of them and put back in freezer till they are solidified.
Gently dip balls into the melted chocolate or spoon the chocolate onto balls and twirl to coat, letting the excess chocolate drizzle off onto parchment paper. Decorate with more Oreo crumbles.
Place them upright in a styrofoam block, or a cardboard box to harden to 2-3 minutes. There you have it, you have easy Oreo crumble cake pops.
STORING THE PERFECT CAKE POPS
- Refrigeration: Place the leftover cake pops in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the cake pops away from moisture by placing a piece of parchment paper or paper towel at the bottom of the container. This helps absorb any excess moisture and prevents the cake pops from becoming soggy.
- Separate Layers: If you’re stacking multiple layers of cake pops in the container, place a sheet of parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
- Consume Promptly: While cake pops can typically be stored in the refrigerator for several days, they are best enjoyed when fresh. Try to consume them within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.

Indulge in the irresistible charm of our Starbucks Cookies and Cream Cake Pop recipe. Featuring moist chocolate cake, creamy frosting, and crushed cookies, all coated in luscious white chocolate, these treats are sure to satisfy your cravings for a taste of your favorite coffee shop.
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix, I used Betty Crocker
- 1/4 cup vanilla icing, I used Betty Crocker
- 12 oreos, cream filling divided
- 1 bag white candy melts, 12 oz bag
Instructions
- Start by preparing your cake batter by package directions. Beat cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or two 8×8-inch round cake dishes and bake in a 350 degree F oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, remove the oreo cream from the oreos, and blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor till they become fine crumbs. Set aside.
- Let the baked cake cool completely, then crumble it with a fork in a large bowl or in the baking dish. Stir the frosting and oreo cream into the crumbled cake, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until chilled.
- Use a cookie scoop and your hands to roll the mixture into evenly sized small balls and place on large baking sheet. You want to try make them all a consistent size – aim for the size of a ping pong ball.
- Freeze again until balls are hard. It’s easier to roll the cake & frosting mixture into perfectly round balls if it’s cold. The cake & frosting mixture is super moist, and at room temperature it makes it extremely difficult to shape them perfectly.
- Once they have been frozen, I give them another little roll to smooth out the sides. Then place on a cookie sheet.
- Melt candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals or in a double boiler. Dip lollipop sticks into the melted chocolate, then stick into one of the frozen cake balls.
- Do this with all of them and put back in freezer till they are solidified.
- Gently dip balls into the melted chocolate or spoon the chocolate onto balls and twirl to coat, letting the excess chocolate drizzle off onto parchment paper. Decorate with more Oreo crumbles.
- Place them upright in a styrofoam block, or a cardboard box to harden to 2-3 minutes. There you have it, you have easy Oreo crumble cake pops.
