Festive Halloween Cake Pops Recipe

These cake pops feature moist chocolate cake mixed with frosting, shaped into cat heads, and coated in black candy melts. The recipe takes about 1.5 hours from start to finish and yields approximately 12 cake pops.

Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required for baking)
1 cup chocolate frosting
12 oz black candy melts
12 lollipop sticks
Candy eyes for decoration
White chocolate or colored candy melts for whiskers (optional)
Black sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Bake the Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow it to cool completely.
Crumble the Cake: In a large bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs. Mix in the chocolate frosting until the mixture is well combined and holds together.
Shape the Cake Pops: Scoop out small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls. Then, shape them into cat heads by forming a slightly pointed top for the ears.
Insert Sticks: Melt a small amount of black candy melts and dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy. Insert the stick into the bottom of each cat head to help secure it. Chill the cake pops in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Coat the Cake Pops: Melt the remaining black candy melts according to package instructions. Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off. Place them upright in a foam block or a cup to set.
Decorate: Once the coating has set, attach candy eyes and use melted white chocolate or colored candy melts to create whiskers if desired. Optionally, sprinkle black sprinkles on top for added texture.
Serve: Allow the cake pops to fully set before serving. Enjoy your festive Black Cat Magic Cake Pops at your Halloween party!
