Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 box package store-bought cake (vanilla or chocolate) baked and cooled
• 1 cup frosting vanilla or contrasting flavored frosting to bind cake crumbs
• 10 oz bag melting chocolate or candy melts for coating
• Red, white, and black icing gels or food coloring various for decorating eyes to create bloodshot and pupil effects

Equipment

• Mixing bowls
• Baking tray

Method

 

1. Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
2. Add the frosting gradually to the cake crumbs, mixing with a spatula until the mixture is moist and holds together when pressed.
3. Shape the mixture into about 12 equal-sized spheres and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
5. While they chill, melt the candy melts or chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second bursts until smooth and glossy.
6. Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted coating, turning to coat evenly, then gently tap off excess and place on a new parchment-lined tray to set.
7. Once coated and set, use small amounts of icing gels to add bloodshot details and pupils onto each eyeball to resemble monster eyes.
8. Adjust and refine the eye details to your liking, and let the decorations dry completely before serving.

Notes

Keep the coated cake pops chilled until ready to decorate for best results. Be creative with eye designs for a fun, spooky effect.

Enjoy creating these creepy little treats—they’ll definitely become a Halloween staple. With just a few ingredients, you can turn a basic dessert into a spooky masterpiece that guests will remember long after the party ends.
