Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan with non-stick spray or parchment paper. Pour the batter in and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Once your cake has cooled, crumble it in a large mixing bowl. Add about 1 cup of frosting and mix until thoroughly combined—aim for a moist texture that holds together when rolled into balls.
  • Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Insert lollipop sticks into each cake ball, pushing them halfway through. Be careful not to push too hard.
  • Chill the cake pops in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm them up for dipping.
  • Melt your chocolate or candy melts according to the package instructions until smooth and pourable.
  • Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's completely covered. Allow excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
  • Before the coating sets, sprinkle your favorite edible decorations for extra flair. Work quickly to achieve the best results!
  • Place the decorated cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand until the coating hardens fully, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Let your imagination run wild with decorations to personalize each Halloween Cake Pop! It's a delightful baking project to enjoy with family.
