I Mean they’re little ghosts holding pumpkin trick or treat bags. Seriously. I’m sort of in love with them. Almost too cute to eat.
As festive as these Trick-Or-Treat Ghost Cake Pops are, they’re so simple to make. The shape of a ghost is simply a circle with a flat bottom.Once I made my cake pop “clay” (which is just cake crumbs mixed with frosting to form a clay-like consistency), I shaped them into ghosts (aka spheres with a flat bottom).
While the cake pops chilled in the fridge I made the pumpkins. I used orange mini-M&M’s and a fine tip black food color marker to draw on the face. Aren’t they so darn cute? I may just start drawing faces on all of my mini-M&M’s 🙂

Coating is so forgiving. Little bumps or imperfections in the coating is perfectly fine because it’s a ghost. A little drip or air bubble never hurt a ghost! It just makes them look more ghost-like.

Halloween Ghost Cake Pops
You'll need one already baked white cake (two layers) and some white frosting. To keep things simple, I prefer to use a box mix when I make cake pops (I used this Pillsbury white cake mix and white frosting). Homemade cake and frosting would be delicious though if you want to put in a little more effort.
Feel free to use any flavor cake and frosting, but keep in mind that if you choose a dark color (like chocolate), you may need to double dip your pops in the candy coating.
You'll start by crumbling the cake, then mixing in just enough frosting (about ¼ to ½ cup) to hold the mixture together when it's rolled into a ball. Use your hands to do this ... it's messy, but makes the process easier and faster.

To get the ghost shape for your pops, you'll start by rolling a heaping tablespoon of cake mixture into a ball, and from there, into an oval shape. Then, you'll shape the oval so the bottom is flat and the top (the ghost's head) is a little narrower.
At this point, you need to refrigerate the ghost shapes for two hours or freeze them for one hour. This helps the cake firm up. Don't skip this step, or your cake pops will fall apart when you try to coat them.
After the cake has been refrigerated for two hours, melt a few candy melts in a small bowl. I used these Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers, but I've also had good luck with Wilton Candy Melts.

Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the candy and insert it into the cake. Once you've done this with all of the cake, refrigerate the cake pops for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the candy has hardened.
Place about one and half bags of the candy melts into a small bowl, then melt them according to the package directions.
Dip a cake pop into the melted candy to coat. Then, gently tap it on the edge of the bowl to remove the excess candy.
The Easiest Halloween Cake Pops
1.) If you want your Ghost Cake Pops to look perfect from all angles, poke the sticks into a piece of styrofoam so the coated pops can dry upright. 2.) If you don't care how the backs of the pops look, rest them on a lined tray to harden (parchment paper works great for this and minimizes cleanup). 3.) If you want the cake pops to look good from all angles and don't have styrofoam, poke the stick in the head part of the cake (instead of the bottom of the ghost).
After you've dipped the pop, let the candy coating set for a minute or two, then press on the candy eyeballs. Aren't they cute?
You'll want to refrigerate the finished Halloween cake pops until you're ready to serve them, although I can never resist trying one right away!

For an event, feel free to dress up your pops with a little black bow on the lollipop stem, or you could even wrap the stems with Halloween washi tape.
