Start by melting your chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy. This will be your coating for the cake pops.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs, breaking up any large pieces for a uniform texture.
Add softened cream cheese to the cake crumbs and mix together until the mixture is cohesive and sticks when pressed. This creates a rich, velvety binding base.
Roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls, then insert a lollipop stick into the center of each, about halfway through the ball.
Place the cake pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Once chilled, dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Gently tap off any excess and place back on parchment paper to set.
Decorate your spooky cake pops with food coloring, sprinkles, edible markers, or fondant to create creepy faces, eyes, or other Halloween motifs. Use small brushes or candies for detailed features.
Allow the decorated cake pops to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Once set, enjoy your charming, creepy Halloween treats that are perfect for parties or festive snacking!
