Refrigerate the cake pops foe 1 hour to allow them to chill and set up.

Ingredients may vary with different brands of cake mix.
If candy melts dry too fast before adding on the candy eyeballs, just use extra melted candy coating or frosting to glue the eyes on.
For fewer cake pops, either halve the recipe, or just freeze any undecorated cake pops.
You can use store-bought cake or cupcakes if you don't want to bake the cake.
