Directions
1. Bake cake and crumble it into a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of frosting to the cake. Add more frosting until the mixture can be handled and rolled into balls, approximately 2/3 cup of frosting.
2. Roll "dough" into balls about the size of a ping pong ball and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.
3. Microwave the candy melts at 50% power for thirty seconds and stir, repeating until melted.
4. Dip one tend of a lollipop stick in the melted chocolate and insert about half way into each cake ball. Place in the refrigerator for an hour or more until firm.
5. When they are firmed up, dip the cake pops into the melted candy coating (reheat in microwave if it starts to firm up), and rotate until completely coated, gently tapping on the side of the bowl to remove any excess.
6. Place the small round candies for the eyes and set them up in a Styrofoam block to dry.
7. Add the melted candy to Ziplock baggie and trim off a corner, to make a piping bag. With a back and forth motion, decorate the cake pops to look like a mummy.
