Halloween Cake Pops
Skip the cake, the crumbling, and the frustration. These Halloween Cake Pops use donut holes for a method that stays on the stick, coats smoothly, and comes together fast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup candy melts green, purple and/or orange
- 24 6- to 7-inch lollipop sticks
- 24 plain mini donuts and/or donut holes
- Candy eyeballs, assorted sprinkles and black decorating gel, for decorating
Instructions
- Melt the candy melts according to package directions.
- Carefully dip each lollipop stick about 1/4- to 1/2-inch into the melted candy melts and stick into each donut. Allow to cool upside down (with the donuts on wax paper-covered work surface and the sticks pointing toward the ceiling) for a few minutes until candy melt is hardened.
- Carefully dip each donut into the melted candy melts and rotate it around until it’s fully coated. Again, allow these to cool upside down, on wax paper, until completely hardened.
- Use the candy eyeballs, sprinkles and black writing gel to decorate cake pops as desired (see Notes below) and serve once the candy melts have set.
- These Halloween Cake Pops are best enjoyed the day they are made, but you can make them up to 24 hours in advance. Do not store them in the fridge or freezer. The candy melts may sweat when brought to room temperature, and this can cause cracking and color bleeding. If storing the donut cake pops overnight, store at room temperature in an airtight container.
Notes
Decorating Ideas For Halloween Cake Pops
- MONSTER POPS - Add candy eyes, sprinkles, and gel for playful or spooky faces. To add horns, pipe horn shapes onto wax paper using melted candy and let them cool. Then, stick them onto pops with more melted candy. (Tip: A sprinkle behind a big horn makes a great little brace.)
- CANDY CORN STYLE - Dip in white, orange, and yellow layers for a striped look.
- DRIZZLED POPS - Let the base set, then drizzle a second color over the top.
- SPRINKLE-DIPPED - Let the coating set for just 3 minutes before dipping into sprinkles.
- GHOST POPS - Use white coating and keep decorations simple for a clean look.
