Spooky Jack Skellington Cake Pops

These cake pops are made from a moist cake mixture combined with frosting, shaped into balls, and coated in white chocolate. The pops are decorated to resemble Jack Skellington, adding a playful touch to your Halloween festivities. The recipe yields about 20 cake pops.

Ingredients

1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
1 cup of frosting (store-bought or homemade)
1 pound of white chocolate or candy melts
Black food coloring or black icing
Lollipop sticks
Sprinkles or edible decorations for eyes

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 be moist but not sticky.
Shape the Cake Pops: Scoop out small 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 at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
Dip the Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it into the center of each cake ball. This helps secure the stick in place.
Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and place back on the parchment paper.
Decorate: Use black food coloring or icing to create Jack Skellington’s face on each cake pop. Add sprinkles or edible decorations for the eyes.
Set and Serve: Allow the cake pops to set completely before serving. Enjoy your spooky treats!
