Spooky Halloween Cake Pops Recipe

These cake pops are made by crumbling baked cake and mixing it with frosting to form a dough-like consistency. They are then shaped into brain forms, dipped in chocolate, and decorated with edible colors to achieve a gory look. This recipe yields about 12 cake pops and is perfect for Halloween celebrations.

Ingredients

1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
1 can of frosting (any flavor)
1 lb of white chocolate or candy melts
Pink food coloring
Edible black gel or chocolate for detailing
Lollipop sticks
Styrofoam block or cake pop stand for drying

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 until fine crumbs form.
Mix with Frosting: Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until fully combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
Shape the Cake Pops: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into brain-like forms. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Cake Pops: Insert lollipop sticks into the shaped cake pops and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate: While the cake pops chill, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
Color the Chocolate: Add pink food coloring to the melted chocolate until the desired shade is achieved.
Dip the Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the pink chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate: Once the chocolate has set slightly, use edible black gel or melted chocolate to draw details on the cake pops to resemble brain ridges.
Dry and Serve: Allow the cake pops to dry completely in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand before serving.
