Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Chocolate cake mix
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 4 oz Cream cheese
  • 1 cup Orange candy melts
  • 1 cup Black candy melts
  • 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles

Equipment

  • Cake Pan
  • Cake Pop Sticks
  • Microwave-safe Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan.
  2. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake the cake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cake to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  5. Mix the frosting into the cake crumbs until it becomes a dough-like consistency.
  6. Roll the cake mixture into small balls and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  7. Dip the ends of cake pop sticks into melted black candy melts and insert them into the cake balls to help secure the sticks.
  8. Freeze the cake pops for 30 minutes to firm up.
  9. Once frozen, dip the cake pops into melted orange candy melts, coating them completely. Allow excess to drip off.
  10. Decorate the cake pops with Halloween sprinkles or spooky designs. Let the cake pops set before serving.
