Description
These ghost cake pops are the ultimate easy Halloween dessert, combining vanilla cake, creamy frosting, and a spooky white chocolate coating that turns ordinary treats into professional-looking sweets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boxes vanilla cake mix (plus eggs, oil, water as package directs)
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- 4 cups white chocolate melts
- Black gel icing
- Optional: 1 tsp almond or coconut extract, edible glitter, crushed graham crackers, white sprinkles, white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Bake vanilla cakes according to package, adding extract if desired. Cool completely.
- Crumble cooled cakes finely. Mix with frosting until mixture holds together.
- Roll into 24 balls (~1.5 in each). Chill 30 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate in microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Dip cake balls into melted chocolate. Shape tops for ghostly waves if desired.
- Use black gel icing to create ghost faces once coating sets slightly.
- Optional: add glitter or sprinkles while coating is tacky. Chill 15 minutes until set.
Notes
Don’t rush chilling—warm cake balls crack when dipped. Keep chocolate just warm enough to coat smoothly. Add faces after coating begins to set for crisp detail.
