Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
- 12 oz black candy melts
- 12 lollipop sticks
- Candy corn or orange and yellow candy melts for flames
- Edible glitter or sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Once baked, let it cool completely.
- Crumble the Cake: In a large bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs. Mix in the chocolate frosting until well combined.
- Shape the Cake Pops: Use your hands to form the cake mixture into small balls, then shape them into cauldron-like forms. Insert a lollipop stick into each cauldron and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Cake Pops: Refrigerate the shaped cake pops for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the black candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip the Cake Pops: Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted candy coating, allowing excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Create the Flames: Melt the orange and yellow candy melts (or use candy corn) and pipe or place them on top of the cake pops to resemble flames.
- Decorate: Optionally, sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles on top for added flair.
- Serve: Allow the cake pops to set completely before serving. Enjoy your spooky Halloween treats!
