Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup frosting (any flavor)
- Chocolate coating or candy melts
- Lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or decorations
Instructions
- Bake the cake: Preheat your oven and bake the cake according to the package instructions. Once finished, allow it to cool completely.
- Crumble the cake: In a mixing bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine pieces and add the frosting. Mix until fully combined; you should achieve a dough-like consistency.
- Form cake balls: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Insert lollipop sticks: After forming all the cake balls, gently insert a lollipop stick into each one. Refrigerate the cake pops for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the coating: While the cake pops are chilling, melt the chocolate coating or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the packet instructions.
- Dip the cake pops: Remove the pops from the fridge, and dip each one into the melted coating, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Decorate: Before the coating sets, sprinkle the top with Halloween-themed sprinkles or other decorations for a festive look.
- Set the cake pops: Place the finished cake pops upright in a foam block, a cake pop stand, or a jar for them to set perfectly.
Notes
Ensure cake is cooled completely for best results. Refrigerate after forming for a firmer texture during dipping.
