Making Halloween cake pops may sound scary, but if you follow my simple tips, there is nothing “spooky” about it! Let me tell you my secret for crafting the perfect pop–I use a box of red velvet cake mix combined with store-bought frosting, roll the mixture into balls, and coat them with candy melts.
There is no shame in baking from a box because my mix produces a moist cake crumb that is perfect for dipping and decorating and makes a delicious hand-held dessert that’s a party-pleaser every time.
My step-by-step instructions make it easy to turn a boring cake ball into a more-festive-than-frightful cake pop. Better than a brownie and more portable than pie, these Halloween-themed desserts are cute bites of cake-on-a-stick that will always be more captivating than their cousin, the cupcake (especially for kids)!

A cake pop has the same flavor as a regular cake, but the frosting has been added to the cake crumbs to give it flavor and help the cake hold its shape in a ball. It’s a cross between cake and a lollipop!
If you do not have a cake pop stand, there are other options for you to try! You could use a piece of foam. Even a small box would work – make sure to pre-insert the sticks so you don’t have to push hard when you have cake on the other end. I have also filled a vase with beans or rice.
It is not difficult to dip cake pops. The critical thing to remember is not to move the cake pop around in the dip by wiggling the stick, or the cake pop may come loose from the stick. It’s best to move the

If your cake pops fall apart, it’s probably because the cake balls are either too small or too big for the stick. Measure the cake balls so they are uniform. You ideally want them to be 2 measured tablespoons of the dough mixture. Otherwise, if they are too big, they will be heavy and are likely to fall apart. And if they are too small, then the stick will cause them to crack.
Cake pops end up mushy when they have too much frosting mixed with the baked cake mixture. Always make sure to follow the directions and ingredient recommendations precisely.
I do not recommend using chocolate chips for coating. If you use chocolate chips, they won’t set up correctly, and you will have a disaster. Always use candy melts or chocolate coating for coating your cake pops.

Your cake mixture can be prepared a couple of days in advance and kept in the fridge until you are ready to use. You can even form the cake balls a day ahead and let them chill in the fridge for easier dipping. If you want to prep your cake balls and freeze them, store them in a large freezer bag and keep them in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Let your cake balls come to room temperature before dipping and decorating.
