Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix prepared according to package instructions
  • 1 cup sweet frosting store-bought or homemade, for mixing into the cake crumbs
  • 200 grams melting chocolate or candy melts for coating the cake pops
  • 12 pairs googly edible eyes for attaching to the cake pops
  • to taste toothpicks or lollipop sticks for handling and inserting into cake balls

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Lollipop sticks or toothpicks
  • Baking sheet
  • Cooling rack
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Baking sheet or tray for final setting

Method
 

  1. Bake the cake according to the package instructions and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl, creating a moist, sandy texture.
  2. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and gently fold together until the mixture is well combined and holds its shape when pressed. This forms a dough-like consistency perfect for shaping.
  3. Use a small scoop or your hands to portion out the mixture into 12 evenly sized balls. Roll each piece between your palms until smooth and round.
  4. Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment and insert a toothpick or lollipop stick into the center of each. Chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth and shiny. Be sure to stir thoroughly and keep the heat low to prevent burning.
  6. Once the cake balls are cold and firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Gently tap off excess chocolate and place the coated ball back on the parchment-lined tray.
  7. While the chocolate coating is still wet, press a googly edible eye onto the surface of each cake pop to resemble a creepy eyeball. Allow the chocolate to set and harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  8. Once the chocolate has fully hardened, carefully remove the toothpicks or sticks. Your Monster Eyeball Cake Pops are ready to serve—creepy, fun, and perfect for Halloween!

Notes

Keep cake pops chilled until ready to serve to maintain their shape. Use different sizes or eye expressions for extra monster variety.
