Spooky Halloween Cake Pops
These cake pops are made by crumbling baked cake and mixing it with frosting to form a dough, which is then shaped into heart forms. After chilling, they are dipped in red candy melts and decorated to resemble bloody hearts, making them a perfect addition to your Halloween festivities.
Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate or red velvet cake mix
- 1 cup of frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup red candy melts
- Lollipop sticks
- Decorative edible eyes (optional)
- Sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9×13 inch pan. Allow to cool completely.
- Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl until fine crumbs form.
- Mix with Frosting: Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
- Shape into Hearts: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into heart forms. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Insert lollipop sticks into the hearts and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the red candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip Cake Pops: Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted candy coating, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
