Festive Halloween Cake Pops Recipe

Ingredients

1 box of vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Yellow, orange, and white candy melts
Lollipop sticks
Sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Styrofoam block or cake pop stand for drying

Instructions

Bake the Cake: Prepare and bake the vanilla cake according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl. Mix in the frosting until well combined and the mixture holds together.
Form Cake Balls: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Cake Balls: Refrigerate the cake balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Candy Coating: In separate bowls, melt the yellow, orange, and white candy melts according to package instructions.
Dip the Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted candy coating, then insert it into the center of each cake ball. This helps secure the stick.
Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each cake ball into the melted candy melts, allowing excess to drip off. For a candy corn effect, you can dip the bottom third in yellow, the middle third in orange, and leave the top third white.
Decorate: If desired, add sprinkles while the coating is still wet. Place the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to dry completely.
Serve: Once the coating has set, your Candy Corn Swirl Cake Pops are ready to enjoy! Store in a cool place until serving.
