Spooky Cake Pops for Halloween
These cake pops are made from crumbled cake mixed with frosting, shaped into ghostly figures, and coated in white chocolate. They are easy to make and are sure to be a hit at any Halloween party, serving as both a treat and a decoration.
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
- Lollipop sticks
- Black edible marker or chocolate for decorating
- Sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9×13 inch pan. Allow it to cool completely.
- Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl. Mix in the frosting until fully combined and the mixture holds together.
- Shape the Pops: Scoop out portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls. Then, shape them into ghost figures by slightly elongating the top.
- Insert Sticks: Melt a small amount of white chocolate and dip the end of each lollipop stick into it. Insert the stick into the bottom of each cake pop to help secure it.
- Chill: Place the shaped cake pops in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with Chocolate: Melt the remaining white chocolate or candy melts. Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Decorate: Use the black edible marker or melted chocolate to draw ghost faces on each cake pop. Add sprinkles if desired.
- Serve: Allow the cake pops to set completely before serving. Display them in a decorative container for a spooky touch.
