Steps:
- Make and bake cake mix as directed on box in 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- With fingers, crumble cake into fine crumbs into large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the frosting; with fork, work frosting into cake crumbs. Continue to add frosting by tablespoonfuls as needed, adding just enough frosting to create a thick, clay-like mixture.
- Shape mixture into 1- to 1 1/2-inch balls; place on sheet of parchment paper.
- Place candy melts in small deep bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring melted candy until smooth.
- Dip end of each lollipop stick into melted candy, then insert stick firmly into center of 1 cake ball; place on parchment paper. Let stand until candy is hard.
- Meanwhile, microwave chewy candies, one by one, on High 4 to 6 seconds. Roll each candy until flat with rolling pin. When cool, use kitchen scissors to cut candy into 2 small teardrop shapes; pinch ends to create ears.
- For each popper, gently dip 1 cake ball into melted candy; quickly lift and allow candy to drip back into bowl. Turn cake popper right side up, gently press 2 candy ears into top of popper. Carefully attach 2 blue candy sprinkles for eyes and 1 pink candy sprinkle for nose. Gently press cake popper into plastic foam to allow candy to harden.
- Use food-safe marker to draw whiskers and bunny mouths.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment, Put 4 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or wafers and 2 teaspoons shortening or coconut oil in a glass bowl and melt at 50 percent power in a microwave at 30 seconds intervals, stirring after each, until melted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stick 12 yellow marshmallow bunnies (such as Peeps) onto 12 lollipop sticks. Dip the bunnies, one at a time, in the chocolate coating, spreading with a small spatula and tapping off the excess on the side of the bowl. Set the bunnies on the parchment-lined baking sheet and add halved mini marshmallows for tails. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
- Bunny face variation: Instead of the tail, add 2 small edible candy eyes. Attach a small orange jelly bean to each for a carrot. Halve small green jelly beans and snip the ends to resemble carrot tops and attach to the base of the carrot.
