Equipment

Ingredients

Cake Base:

  • 15.25 oz chocolate cake mix
  • Ingredients listed on the cake mix box usually eggs, oil, and water

Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup 4 oz chocolate or vanilla frosting

Assembly:

  • 24 lollipop sticks
  • 2 cups black candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for thinning melts

Decoration:

  • 1/2 cup green candy melts
  • 2 tablespoons bright green sanding sugar
  • 1/3 cup assorted round sprinkles yellow, purple, orange
  • 24 mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon edible glitter
  • Edible silver pearls or candy eyeballs optional

Instructions

  • Prepare and bake the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions. Let it cool completely.
  • Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add the frosting and mix until the texture resembles playdough.
  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Melt black candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Add coconut oil if needed to thin.
  • Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted coating, then insert halfway into each chilled cake ball. This helps secure the stick.
  • Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, letting the excess drip off. Stand upright in a cake pop stand or foam block to set.
  • Melt green candy melts and spoon a small amount onto the top of each pop. Immediately add mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and edible glitter to resemble a bubbling cauldron.
  • Allow decorations to set fully at room temperature or in the fridge. Serve and enjoy!
