How to Make Halloween Cake Pops
Making Halloween cake pops is a fun and creative process that results in adorable and spooky treats perfect for Halloween. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a cake pan. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool completely.
After the cake has cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix the frosting into the cake crumbs until it forms a dough-like consistency. This step helps hold the cake pops together and gives them a smooth texture.
Next, roll the cake mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper. To help secure the cake pop sticks, dip the ends of the sticks into melted black candy melts and insert them into the cake balls. Freeze the cake pops for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
Once the cake pops are frozen, dip each one into melted orange candy melts, coating them completely. Allow any excess candy to drip off. For an extra spooky touch, decorate the cake pops with Halloween sprinkles, edible glitter, or mini candy eyes. Let the cake pops set before serving.
These Halloween cake pops are a fun and spooky way to celebrate the season with friends and family!
