Preparation time
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these Halloween Cake Pops, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 100g/4oz Madeira cake
- 100g chocolate sandwich cookies
- 100g bar milk chocolate, melted
- 200g bar white chocolate, melted
- A few sugar-coated chocolate beans and icing pens, to decorate
- 10 wooden skewers
- ½ pumpkin or use butternut squash
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Pop Mixture
To start, break the Madeira cake and chocolate sandwich cookies into small pieces. You can try using a food processor to make the process easier. Once broken down, pour in the melted milk chocolate and blend the mixture until it is well combined.
Step 2: Shape and Chill the Cake Balls
Transfer the mixture into a bowl and use your hands to roll it into approximately 10 walnut-sized balls. Place the cake balls on a baking sheet and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm to the touch.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake Pops
Once the cake balls are chilled, it’s time to assemble the cake pops. Insert a wooden skewer into each cake ball, ensuring it is secure. Next, melt the white chocolate and carefully spoon it over the cake balls, ensuring that they are completely covered.
Step 4: Decorate the Cake Pops
To add a festive touch to your Halloween cake pops, it’s time to get creative with the decorations. While the white chocolate is still wet, place a sugar-coated chocolate bean on the surface of each cake pop to create an eyeball effect. You can use icing pens to draw a pupil on each chocolate bean and wiggly red veins to make the eyeballs even spookier.
Step 5: Display and Serve
To display your Halloween cake pops, use a small pumpkin or butternut squash. Simply deseed the pumpkin or squash and place the skewered cake pops into it, allowing them to stand upright. This not only adds a festive touch to your presentation but also makes it easy for your guests to grab a cake pop.
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Halloween Cake Pops
- If you don’t have Madeira cake, you can substitute any other type of sponge cake.
- To make the cake pop more flavorful, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract or your favourite flavouring to the cake mixture.
- If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought cake mix and pre-made frosting instead of making everything from scratch.
- Get creative with your decorations! You can use different colours of melted chocolate, sprinkles, or edible glitter to make your cake pop even more eye-catching.
- If you’re serving the cake pops at a party, consider making them a day in advance and storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavours to meld together and make the cake pops even more delicious.
