Easy Skull Cake Pops Recipe for Halloween

These cake pops are made from moist cake crumbled and mixed with frosting, shaped into skulls, and coated in white chocolate. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and yields approximately 12 pops.

Ingredients

1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
1 cup frosting (matching the cake flavor)
12 lollipop sticks
12 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
Black food coloring or edible markers for decoration
Sprinkles or edible glitter for extra 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. Mix in the frosting until well combined.
Shape the Pops: Take small portions of the cake mixture and shape them into skulls. Insert a lollipop stick into each skull and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill: Refrigerate the shaped cake pops for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
Coat the Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Decorate: Once the coating is set, use black food coloring or edible markers to draw skull features. Add sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.
Serve: Allow the cake pops to set completely before serving. Enjoy your spooky treats!
