Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 package candy melts (orange, purple, or other colors)
- 1 tablespoon shortening (optional)
- Sprinkles (Halloween-themed)
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the cake according to the package directions. Let it cool completely before proceeding.
- Crumble the cake into a large bowl using your hands until it resembles fine crumbs.
- Incorporate about half a cup of store-bought frosting into the cake crumbs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when shaped.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Melt the candy melts as directed on the package. If desired, mix in shortening to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Dip the tip of lollipop sticks into the melted candy melts, then gently insert them into the chilled cake balls, about halfway through.
- Coat each cake ball into the melted candy melts, thoroughly coating each one. Tap gently to remove excess coating.
- While the coating is still wet, sprinkle your Halloween-themed decorations on top.
- Place the decorated pops upright in a foam block or stand until the coating hardens completely.
Notes
Ensure the cake is cool before crumbling and mixing. Experiment with different cake flavors and decorations for variety.
