Easy Halloween Cake Pops Recipe

These cake pops are made by crumbling cake and mixing it with frosting, then shaping them into balls and coating them in colorful candy melts. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and yields approximately 20 cake pops.

Ingredients

1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup candy melts (various colors)
Lollipop sticks
Sprinkles or edible decorations for eyes and features
Styrofoam block or cake pop stand for drying

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 in the frosting until well combined.
Shape the Cake Pops: Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Melt the Candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
Insert Sticks: Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy, then insert it into the center of each cake ball. This helps secure the stick in place. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off. Place them upright in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.
Decorate: While the coating is still wet, add sprinkles or edible decorations to create monster features. Allow to dry completely before serving.
