Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients to bake)
1/2 cup chocolate frosting
24 chocolate wafer cookies (like Oreos or thin chocolate wafers)
16 oz black or dark chocolate melting wafers
1/4 cup purple or orange candy melts (for the ribbon)
Yellow star sprinkles or yellow icing (for the buckle)
24 cake pop sticks
Instructions
Step 1: Bake the chocolate cake according to the box instructions and allow it to cool completely before crumbling it into a large bowl.
Step 2: Add the chocolate frosting to the cake crumbs and mix with your hands or a spatula until the mixture holds its shape when pressed.
Step 3: Roll the mixture into 24 cone-shaped pieces (roughly 1.5 inches tall) to form the top of the witch hat cake pops and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Step 4: Melt a small amount of chocolate coating. Dip the end of a cake pop stick into the chocolate and then insert it into the flat base of a cake cone.
Step 5: Dip the entire cake cone into the melted black chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off, then immediately press it onto the center of a chocolate wafer cookie.
Step 6: Once the chocolate has set, melt the purple or orange candy melts and pipe a thin line around the base of the cone where it meets the cookie.
Step 7: Use a yellow star sprinkle or a small dot of yellow icing to create the buckle on the front of the ribbon, then let the witch hat cake pops set completely before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cake cones are very cold before dipping to prevent them from crumbling into the chocolate.
