Ingredients
  

  • 1 box cake mix your preferred flavor
  • 1 1/2 cups frosting ready-made or homemade, for mixing with cake crumbs
  • 12 oz candy melts white or red for decorating
  • 10 lollipop sticks
  • small food coloring red, black, or other desired colors
  • as needed edible decorations candy eyes, gel, icing, or mini chocolates

Equipment

  • Baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Rubber spatula
  • Cooling rack
  • Lollipop sticks
  • Melting pot or microwave-safe bowl
  • Piping bags and tips
  • Food coloring
  • Candy eyes or mini chocolates
  • Decorative piping tools

Method
 

  1. Bake the cake according to the package instructions and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add frosting to the cake crumbs and gently fold until the mixture is firm enough to hold shape. The mixture should be moist but not sticky.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to work with.
  5. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1.5-inch diameter spheres, then insert a lollipop stick into each and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate the shaped cake pops for at least 30 minutes to firm up before dipping.
  7. Melt the candy melts according to package instructions in a melting pot or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  8. Dip each cake pop into the melted candy, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap gently to remove excess coating and place back on parchment to set.
  9. Use piping bags to add bloodshot veins with red gel or icing, creating thin lines across the eyeballs for a gory effect.
  10. Attach small candies or edible decorations to resemble bloodshot veins or gory details, positioning them as desired for a creepy effect.
  11. Place edible googly eyes or mini chocolates onto the center of each eyeball to complete the spooky look.
  12. Once decorated and the coating is hardened, serve your Monster Eyeball Cake Pops on a platter for a fun and frightening Halloween treat.
