Spooky Ghost Footprint Cake Pops Recipe
These cake pops are made from moist cake crumbled and mixed with frosting, shaped into ghostly footprints, and dipped in white chocolate. The entire process takes about 1 hour and yields 12 cake pops.
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1/2 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 lollipop sticks
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- Black edible marker or chocolate for decorating
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (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. Add the frosting and mix until fully combined.
- Shape the Cake Pops: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into foot-shaped balls. Insert a lollipop stick into each foot and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Refrigerate the shaped cake pops for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
- Decorate: Once the chocolate has set slightly, use a black edible marker or melted chocolate to draw ghostly footprints on each cake pop. Add sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.
- Serve: Allow the cake pops to set completely before serving. Enjoy your spooky treats!
