Description
Blood Drip Cake Pops are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any festive gathering. These delightful cake pops are made from crumbled chocolate cake mixed with frosting, shaped into balls, and coated in a vibrant red candy melt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix: Check the box for additional ingredients like eggs, oil, and water.
- 1 cup of chocolate frosting: To bind the crumbled cake together.
- 12 oz of red candy melts: For the blood drip effect.
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional): To thin the candy melts.
- White lollipop sticks (about 12): To hold the cake pops.
- Spooky sprinkles (optional): For decoration.
- Parchment paper: For cooling the cake pops.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix box instructions and prepare the cake mix as directed.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
- Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the cake balls for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy coating, then insert it into each cake ball.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted red candy coating, allowing excess to drip off.
- To create the blood drip effect, dip the cake pops partially and let the excess drip down.
Notes
- Experiment with different cake flavors like vanilla, red velvet, or pumpkin spice.
- Use high-quality candy melts or chocolate coating for best results.
- Hold the cake pops upside down after dipping to achieve the perfect drip.
