Spooky Halloween Cake Pops Recipe
These cake pops are made from moist cake crumbled and mixed with frosting, then shaped into skulls and coated in white chocolate. The recipe takes about 1.5 hours from start to finish and yields approximately 12 cake pops.
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- Lollipop sticks
- Black edible marker or chocolate for decorating
- Sprinkles or edible glitter for additional decoration (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 well combined.
- Shape the Cake Pops: Scoop out portions of the cake mixture and shape them into skulls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip the Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it into the bottom of each cake pop to help secure it.
- Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each shaped cake pop into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment paper to set.
- Decorate: Once the chocolate has hardened, use a black edible marker or melted chocolate to draw eyes and mouth on each skull. Add sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.
- Serve: Display the cake pops in a decorative container or on a platter for your Halloween festivities.
