Allow cake to cool after baking according to box directions.
Crumble entire cake in a large bowl with a fork.
Add frosting and work it into the cake crumbs with your hands until it forms a ball.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Melt chocolate bark in a microwave-safe cup in 30-second intervals, stirring often.
Dip the tip of each stick into the melted chocolate. Then push that end into a cake ball. This will help secure the cake balls onto the stick.
Freeze them for 1 hour.
Prepare a place for your cake pops to chill and harden. I often use a cardboard box and poke holes into it.
Melt chocolate bark again in a microwave-safe cup so cake balls can be dipped in.
Carefully roll each cake pop in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Before chocolate hardens, add sprinkles.

Add the sprinkles to each cake pop before the chocolate hardens to ensure that they stick.
Work the frosting into the cake crumbs with your hands until everything forms a ball that holds its shape.
Melt chocolate bark in 30-second intervals, stirring often, and dip each stick in it before pushing it into a ball so it holds.
Use a cardboard box with holes poked in it as an easy place to chill and harden them after dipping them in melted chocolate if you don't want to buy a stand.
Roll each cake pop carefully in melted chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
