Spooky Halloween Cake Pops Recipe
These cake pops are made from moist cake crumbled and mixed with frosting, shaped into cauldrons, and coated with a black candy melt drip. The addition of edible glitter gives them a magical finish. This recipe yields about 12 cake pops.
Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix (or your favorite cake recipe)
- 1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup black candy melts
- Edible glitter for decoration
- Lollipop sticks
- Candy eyes (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the chocolate 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.
- Shape the Cake Pops: Scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or cauldron shapes. Insert a lollipop stick into each one and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Melt the Candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the black candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip the Cake Pops: Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted candy, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
- Add Glitter: While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle edible glitter over the cake pops for a magical effect. Add candy eyes if desired.
- Let Set: Allow the cake pops to set completely before serving. Store in a cool place until ready to enjoy.
