One Eyed Monster Cake Pops Recipes

ONE-EYED MONSTER CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, mix your cake ingredients and pour into the baking dish; bake according to package directions. Let cool completely.
• Slice the cake in 4 sections and add to a large bowl.
• With your hands, gently crumble until it resembles fine crumbs. Again, using your hands, add in frosting a little bit at a time until cake is moist and can hold a ball shape, yet still slightly crumbly (I used 4 big spoonfuls.)
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a tablespoon sized cookie scoop, form tight balls of the cake mixture and place on the cookie sheet.
• In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup of the candy melts in the microwave according to package directions. Dip the tip of the lollipop sticks into the chocolate and insert into the cake balls about 3/4 of the way. Return to the cookie sheet and repeat until all are done.
• Place cookie sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Melt the remaining candy melts in a large bowl. With a spoon, pour the chocolate all over the cake ball, letting any excess drip off. Then with your finger, gently swirl it around in an uneven pattern you like, leaving a little bit more on top where it's flattened. Add the eye candy while the chocolate is still wet.
• Stick the decorated cake pops into a styrofoam block and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to finish setting and dry completely.

Steps:

• Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on cookie sheet. Freeze until firm; refrigerate.
• In microwavable bowl, microwave blue candy melts and shortening uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute, then in 15-second intervals, until melted; stir until smooth. Dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted blue candy and insert stick into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Repeat. Return to cookie sheet. Refrigerate 5 minutes. Remove from refrigerator a few at a time. Dip cake balls in melted blue candy; tap off excess. Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Immediately attach 2 candy straw pieces to top of pop for antennae, holding in place until set. Let stand until set.
• Spoon melted purple candy into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off small corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe mouth and teeth onto cake pops. Use remaining melted candy to attach candy eyes to antennae.
