Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, 3 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, and about 1 cup water. Mix until smooth and well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which takes about 30 minutes.

Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl., ensuring a smooth consistency.

Add ½ cup of chocolate frosting to the crumbs and mix until sticky but not overly wet.

Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.

Melt your chocolate coating or candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.

Dip a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then insert it into each cake ball. Coat each ball in the melted chocolate and place them back on parchment.
