Bake and crumble the cake

• Bake the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions.
• Let it cool completely, then crumble it into a large bowl.

Make the cake pop mixture

• Add the cream cheese icing, pumpkin purée and pumpkin spice to the crumbled cake.
• Mix until evenly combined and a moldable dough forms.

Roll and chill the balls

• Roll the mixture into balls.
• Refrigerate until firm — this step is important.

Shape the pumpkins

• Mold each ball into a pumpkin shape using a treat stick.
• Dip the tip of a treat stick in the melted orange candy, then insert it into a pumpkin.
• Refrigerate the shaped pumpkins.

Dip the pumpkins

• Dunk one pumpkin at a time straight down into the melted orange candy, then straight up — do not roll it.
• Wipe the excess off the bottom so it doesn't pool.
• Refrigerate after each dip.

Make the leaves

• Mix the green melting candy and pour it into the leaf molds.
• Let set, then unmold the leaves.

Decorate

• Pipe vines on the pumpkins with the green icing.
• Stick the leaves and brown sprinkles on with the excess green icing.
• Shade with edible glitter.
