Spooky Halloween Chocolate Cake Pops Recipe

What you need:

For the Chocolate Cake:

  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix (plus required ingredients like eggs, oil, and water)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate frosting
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or 1 bar dark chocolate bar

For the Cake Pops:

  • Lollipop sticks
  • Dark chocolate candy melts
  • Assorted Halloween-themed sprinkles
  • Edible googly eyes
  • Black icing gel
  • Styrofoam block for drying

What to do:

Bake the Chocolate Cake: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Then, prepare the cake mix following the package instructions, which typically involve mixing the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water in a bowl until smooth.

Bake the cake in a greased and floured pan according to the recommended time on the cake mix box. Once the cake is baked and cooled, crumble it into a large mixing bowl.

Mix with Frosting: Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix it thoroughly until the mixture has a moist, dough-like consistency.

If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more frosting; if it's too wet, you can add more crumbled cake.

Shape into Balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. These will be the cake pops. Ensure they are evenly sized for uniform cake pops.

Insert Lollipop Sticks: Melt a small amount of candy melts and dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy. Then, gently insert the coated end of the stick into each cake ball, about halfway through.

Place the cake pops on a tray or baking sheet and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes to set.

Decorate: Melt the candy melts according to the package instructions. Then, dip each cake pop into the melted candy coating, allowing any excess to drip off.

While the candy coating is still wet, decorate the cake pops with Halloween-themed sprinkles, edible googly eyes, and any other spooky decorations you like. And use black icing gel to draw spooky faces or designs on the cake pops.

Let Them Set: Place the decorated cake pops into a Styrofoam block to allow them to set completely.

Enjoy: And that’s it! Your Spooky Halloween Chocolate Cake Pops are ready to enjoy! Arrange them on a spooky-themed platter and watch them disappear at your Halloween party.
