- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 13 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray; line 2 rimmed baking pans with parchment paper. Prepare cake as label directs with eggs, vegetable oil and 1-1/4 cups water in prepared baking dish; cool completely in dish on wire rack.
- With spatula, break up cake into smaller pieces. In bowl of stand mixer, with paddle attachment, beat cake 3 minutes or until cake sticks together when pressed between 2 fingers. Roll cake mixture into 1-1/2-inch balls; place on prepared baking pans.
- In medium microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in microwave oven on high 1 minute or until chocolate is melted, stirring every 20 seconds; stir in coconut oil. Dip 1 end of lollipop sticks into melted chocolate, then insert into center of cake balls; freeze 20 minutes.
- Reheat remaining chocolate in microwave oven to melt. Dip cake balls into chocolate to completely cover, allowing excess to drip off; place back on baking pans and place 3 licorice pieces on each side to create “spider legs.” Place 2 candy eyeballs on cake pops; refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Makes 24 cake pops.
