Halloween Cake Pops

This is my attempt to make cake pops. I've been wanting to make them for a long time, but was waiting for the perfect opportunity. It finally came. They were really easy to make and didn't take nearly as much time as I though they would. My daughter and I had a blast making them together.


This is how you make them:

Bake a cake and let it cool.

Dump your cake into bowl and crumble it with a fork (My daughter loved this part).

Pour 3/4 a jar of frosting into your crumbled cake and combine with a fork.

Roll into balls.

Freeze for about an hour.

Cover in melted chocolate (turns out the majority of melting chocolate is processed with peanuts. I went to three stores before I found some that was safe and of course it was by far the most expensive. Oh well.)

I found melon tic-tacs at Target. We put those on the top after they were coated in chocolate so they would look like pumpkins.


Some we had fun with . . .


and decorated to look like jack-o-lanterns.

Others we wrapped up . . .

to bring to friends.
