Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box store-bought cake (or baked cake layers) crumbled after cooling
  • 1 cup cream cheese cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar powdered sugar for sweetness
  • 12 ounces dark or melting chocolate chocolate for dipping use good quality chocolate
  • 1-2 teaspoons edible red ink or gel edible bloodshot veins for realism
  • Optional edible shimmer dust for glazed effect

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Cake pop sticks
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small paintbrush or piping bag
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
  2. Add softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive and can be shaped easily.
  3. Stir in powdered sugar to sweeten the mixture and help it hold together.
  4. Scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball with your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used, then place the balls on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Insert a cake pop stick into each ball, about halfway through, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Gently melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring between each until smooth and glossy.
  7. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage, then allow the excess to drip off before placing back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  8. Once all the cake pops are coated, refrigerate again for about 15 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
  9. Using a small brush or piping tip, add red ink or gel to create bloodshot veins around the edge of each eyeball for a spooky, bloodshot look.
  10. For added realism, lightly dust the eyes with edible shimmer or sprinkle Halloween-themed decorations for a glossy or textured look.
  11. Enjoy your creepy, fun Monster Eyeball Cake Pops as a striking Halloween treat or spooky centerpiece.

Notes

Chill the cake mixture well to prevent crumbling during dipping. Use a small brush for detailed bloodshot veins. Decorate with edible shimmers or sprinkles to enhance the spooky effect.
