Ingredients – Duncan Hines Vanilla Cake Mix – Eggs – Vegetable Oil – Water – Wilton Candy Melts, chocolate – Frosting – Candy Eyeballs – Hairbo Licorice Lace

Step 1 -  1. Mix the cake on low speed until it has binded into a ball in the center of the bowl. The cake being both moist and hot will help it stick together. If it is not binding together, you can add in 1-2 tablespoons of frosting to assist. The dough should be the consistency of cookie dough. Once your cake pop dough is ready, take a heaping single scoop with a small ice cream scoop.

Step 2 - Roll the scoop of cake pop dough into a ball. Place on a sheet of parchment paper. Insert the sticks into the cake pop balls. Freeze the cake pops for one hour.

Step 3 - Begin decorating by spooning the melted chocolate over the cake pop. Shake to even out the chocolate. Immediately place the candied eyeballs candies where desired while the chocolate is still wet. Place the licorice lace legs as well.  Set the cake pop on parchment paper to allow the chocolate to harden for 5-10 minutes.
