Prepare the pan:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan.

Mix dry ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Cream butter and sugar:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.

Combine & bake:

Mix in half the flour mixture, then the milk, then the remaining flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

Form cake pops:

Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl. Add marshmallow fluff and mix until a dough-like texture forms. Scoop and roll mixture into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Insert sticks:

Melt 2 tbsp chocolate chips. Dip one end of each stick in melted chocolate, then insert into cake balls. Freeze for 15 minutes.

Coat & decorate:

Melt remaining chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Dip each cake pop into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Immediately sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and sprinkles.

Set:

Stand cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand until set.
