Halloween Cake Pops

My friend came over this past weekend we made some cake pops.  I love cake pops, let me tell ya. 

We made lots of eyeball cake pops, and that night the kids and I took a bouquet of “eyepops” over to a neighbors house.  So fun.  My kids Loved hiding around the corner, then jumping out and yelling surprise!  if you want to see a photo of the bouquet, jump on over to my Facebook page! Be sure to ‘like’ my page while you’re there!

Well, after we made all those eyeballs, I couldn’t stop.  I found some awesome little cookie cutters and I could only envision them as cake pops!  Instead of rolling only balls, I used the cookie cutters to get the different shapes.

My kids absolutely love them!  My oldest was ecstatic that I let her pick one to take to school.  She picked a jack-o-lantern:

and since I love them all, I’m going to feature each one in a picture :)

The Eyeball:

Cute Vampire (Inspired from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen):

Witch’s Cauldron:

Black Cat:

Witch’s Hat:

Candy Corn:

Bat:

Zombie:

They made my whole kitchen look halloween-y.  I wish I could just leave them up for the rest of the month for decorations!!  but..…  they taste too good for that to be an option.

What I used:

Candy Melts:

Black - Wilton only sells them this time of year, so I suggest buying a bag or 2 if you see them! I found mine at Michaels.  Walmart also carries them.

Spooky Green – also a Halloween exclusive color

Orange – I started with orange, then added both a little red and orange candy dyes to get it this color.  Make sure they are candy dyes that are oil based before adding it to your chocolate!

Purple

Yellow

Red

White

After I dipped each pop in the main color, I let them harden completely before adding details.  The details are all candy melts that were melted in a disposable piping bag.

For the candy corn, I used the hat cutter, then just cut off the edges.  Then I dipped it 3 separate times to get the color layering.

Oh, and I added a little shimmer dust to the witch’s cauldron brew.

If you have any questions, Please ask!!  I’d love to hear from you!

Enjoy! Happy Almost Halloween!!
