These spooky eyeball cake pops are a fun and festive Halloween treat, perfect for parties or family gatherings. Easy to make and endlessly customizable, they’re sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

  • Cake (any flavor, store-bought or homemade)
  • Frosting (buttercream or cream cheese)
  • White candy melts
  • Colored candy melts (red, green, or blue)
  • Black edible marker or gel
  • Lollipop sticks
  • Decorative sprinkles (optional)
  • Vegetable oil (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Bake your favorite cake recipe or use store-bought cake. Let it cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
  3. Add frosting, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the crumbs stick together and form a dough-like consistency.
  4. Scoop out portions of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 2 hours or freeze them for 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white candy melts according to the package instructions. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin for smoother dipping.
  7. Dip one end of a lollipop stick into melted candy, then insert it halfway into a cake ball. Repeat for all cake balls.
  8. Dip each cake pop into the melted white candy, covering it completely. Tap off excess and place upright to set.
  9. Use colored candy melts or edible markers to add iris details. Draw pupils with a black edible marker or gel. Add bloodshot veins with red gel for extra spookiness.
  10. Allow the decorated cake pops to set completely before serving.

Notes

Chill the cake balls thoroughly before dipping to prevent cracking or falling off the sticks. Add vegetable oil to candy melts for a smoother coating. Experiment with different spooky designs for variety.
