Monster Eyeball Cake Pops

Monster Eyeball Cake Pops are bite-sized confections made from cake crumbs and frosting, shaped into small spheres, then coated with colorful glazes and decorated to resemble creepy eyeballs. Their final appearance is playful yet eerie, with a smooth outer shell and detailed eyeball features. The texture combines moist cake with a candy-like coating that is slightly firm on the outside and soft inside.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vanilla cake crumbs store-bought or homemade, crumbled finely
  • 0.5 cup frosting vanilla or neutral flavor, to bind the cake crumbs
  • 2 cups white chocolate coating melted for dipping
  • 1 cup red glaze for the veins and gory effects
  • 1 cup green glaze for the outer skin
  • 12 small eyeball candies or mini marbles for the eyeballs
  • 1 tbsp shortening to help melt chocolate smoothly

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Candy thermometer

Method
 

  1. Mix the cake crumbs with frosting in a large bowl until well combined and holds together when pressed.
  2. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the white chocolate with the shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  4. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to fully coat and gently tap off excess; set aside to dry.
  5. Once the coating is set, use a small brush or spoon to add drizzles of red glaze over the white chocolate to mimic veins and bloody effects.
  6. Use the green glaze to coat the remaining visible parts of each cake pop, creating a creepy, eyeball-like appearance.
  7. Place an eyeball candy or mini marble on top of each cake pop to resemble the eyeball, pressing gently into the glaze.
  8. Allow the cake pops to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting before serving.
  9. Arrange the Monster Eyeball Cake Pops on a spooky platter, ready to surprise and delight your Halloween guests.

Notes

For added creepiness, use edible markers to draw small bloodshot veins or iris details on the eyeballs.
