Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of red velvet cake mix
- Cream cheese frosting (prepared or homemade)
- Chocolate melts or candy coating (red, black, or dark brown for a spooky look)
- Lollipop sticks
- Optional: edible glitter, sprinkles, Halloween-themed sugar decorations
- Food coloring for additional spooky effects
Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package instructions and let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs with a fork or hands.
- Mix in enough cream cheese frosting to create a dough-like consistency that holds together.
- Roll the mixture into small, even-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then insert into each cake ball and refrigerate until set.
- Temper the chocolate melts or candy coating, then dip each cake pop into the coating, fully covering it.
- Decorate with edible glitter, sprinkles, or red food coloring for blood splatters to create a spooky effect.
Notes
- Keep cake pops refrigerated and enjoy within 3-5 days for best freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container and thaw before serving.
