Equipment

  • Medium Sauce Pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Mason jar for storage
  • Pumpkin Silicon Molds
  • Xacto Knife
  • Popsicle sticks

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups orange candy melts
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or paramount crystals

Instructions
 

  • Add cake mix, oil, water and eggs to a stand mixer
  • Mix according to package instructions and bake
  • After it is done, add to the bowl of a stand mixer and use the paddle attachment
  • Mix the hot cake on medium speed until a dough forms.
  • Remove the cake pop dough and set aside.
  • Melt the candy melts with the coconut oil, this helps thin it out but allows to set.
  • Melt in increments of 30 sec, stirring in between each time
  • Cut the silicon mold and then create a slit large enough for the sticks, with the xacto knife.
  • Add in the melted chocolate, making sure to coat the sides well
  • Slide the sticks in and then freeze for 10 mins
  • Add in the cake pop dough, leaving enough space on the inside to add chocolate to the back
  • Freeze again for 10-15 mins
  • Carefully pull the sides of the silicon mold outward releasing the cake pop
  • Then push up through the slit.
  • If your cake pops are not fully covered, add melted chocolate to the exposed cake pop dough areas with a knife (shown on photo)
  • Add black chocolate or black buttercream to the eyes, nose and mouth (or leave as is)
  • Let set, serve and enjoy!
