Trick-or-treaters, faux cobwebs and ransacked Party City shelves: it’s Halloween once again. Whether you’re attending a costume party or staying in and marathoning classic horror films, this cake pop recipe is sure to get you into the ~spooky spirit~.
The Cake Pop Base
What You’ll Need
- 1 box of yellow Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mix
- A 13″ by 9” baking pan
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of water
- A 13″ by 9” baking pan
- 1 container of vanilla icing
What You’ll Do
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together the cake mix, vegetable oil and water, and beat in the three eggs.
- Pour the mixture into the baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Take the cake out of the oven and wait until it is completely cool before proceeding
- Take a knife and cut off the edges and sides of the cake. The consistency around the edges is harder and not ideal for cake pops.
- Crumble the remaining cake with your hands, then add in ½ cup of vanilla icing and knead together.
- Start rolling the mixture into small balls and place them on a serving platter.
The Eye Decoration
What You’ll Need
- 2 bags of white chocolate morsels
- 1 tube of red gel icing
- 1 bag of eyeball candies
- 1 bag of lollipop sticks
- 1 Styrofoam block
What You’ll Do
- Take your white chocolate morsels and pour them into a microwavable dish. Microwave for about one minute and a half.
- Take the bowl out of the microwave and mix the softened chocolate until smooth.
- Dip the end of the lollipop sticks into the chocolate, then insert them into the top of the cake balls.
- Once finished, place the cake balls into the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, take the platter out of the freezer, re-heat the chocolate morsels and dip each cake pop completely into the chocolate, covering the entire surface.
- Add the eyeball candy to the center of the cake pop, and draw in veins with the red gel icing.
- Stick each completed cake pop into the styrofoam block so their round shape stays intact.
- Place cake pops into the fridge until ready to serve.
And there you have it: the perfect Halloween treat! Enjoy the holiday, witches.
