Form cake pops. Form 1 tablespoon yellow mixture into ball. Repeat with 1 tablespoon green mixture. Flatten both balls slightly, then combine together to form 1 medium-sized cake pop. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Melt candy. Melt Yellow and Dark Green Candy Melts candy in short dipping containers according to package instructions. Dip tip of lollipop stick in melted candy; insert into cake pop. Repeat for all cake pops. Place in pop stand. Chill until set, about 10 minutes. Keep candy warm on warming tray.
