Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
1 cup chocolate frosting
1 bag green candy melts
12 lollipop sticks
Edible eyes for decoration
Black and purple sprinkles for garnish
Mini chocolate chips for cauldron handles (optional)

Instructions

Bake the Cake: Prepare and bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add the chocolate frosting and mix until well 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.
Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions until smooth.
Dip Sticks: Dip one end 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.
Coat Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted green candy, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess candy to drip off, then place back on the parchment paper.
Decorate: While the coating is still wet, add edible eyes and sprinkles to decorate the cauldrons. If desired, use mini chocolate chips as handles.
Set: Allow the cake pops to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
Serve: Once set, arrange the cake pops in a decorative stand or a cauldron for a spooky presentation.
