Fun Halloween Cake Pops Recipe
These cake pops are made from crumbled cake mixed with frosting, shaped into balls, and coated in chocolate. They are decorated to resemble spider egg nests, making them a spooky addition to any Halloween party. The recipe yields about 12 cake pops.
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 can of frosting (any flavor)
- 12 oz chocolate candy melts or coating chocolate
- 1 cup shredded coconut (optional, for nest effect)
- Black candy melts or chocolate for spiders
- Edible eyes for decoration
- Lollipop sticks
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 Cake Pops: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Insert lollipop sticks into each ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
