Spooky Red Velvet Cake Pops Recipe

These cake pops feature moist red velvet cake blended with cream cheese frosting, coated in chocolate, and decorated to resemble vampire bites. The recipe yields about 20 cake pops and is perfect for Halloween parties or themed events.

Ingredients

1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
1 cup cream cheese frosting
1 cup chocolate candy melts (red or dark chocolate)
Lollipop sticks
White chocolate or vanilla candy melts for fangs
Black edible gel or chocolate for detailing
Sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Bake the Cake: Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese frosting and mix until fully combined.
Form Cake Balls: Scoop out 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: Refrigerate the cake balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt Chocolate: While the cake balls chill, melt the chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions.
Dip Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it into the center of each cake ball. This helps hold the stick in place.
Coat Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Create Fangs: Melt white chocolate or vanilla candy melts and pipe small fang shapes onto parchment paper. Allow to harden.
Decorate: Once the chocolate coating has set, attach the fangs to the cake pops using a bit of melted chocolate. Use black edible gel or chocolate to create bite marks around the fangs.
Serve: Display the cake pops in a decorative holder or on a platter. Enjoy your spooky treats!
