Halloween Cake Popsicles (Cakesicles)

Steps

1. 1Make cake of choice and allow to fully cool.
2. 2Optional: If there are hard crusty corners, you can remove those prior to crumbling cake.
3. 3In large bowl, crumble cake with your hands. Make sure there are no large lumps. You can use a stand mixer if you have one.
4. 4Add frosting and fully mix. Once fully combined, the cake should easily form into a ball. If it is not sticky enough, you can add more frosting (in 1 teaspoon increments). Set aside.
5. 5In a microwave safe bowl, place ½ cup candy melts or chocolate chips.
6. 6Microwave for approximately 30-60 seconds or until fully melted.
7. 7If you do not have a microwave, you can melt chocolate using a double boiler.
8. 8In cake popsicle mold, spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate. Using a spoon, spread the chocolate to evenly coat the entire inside of the cakesicle mold (bottom and sides).
9. 9Place in refrigerator or freezer until chocolate is fully hardened.
10. 10Roll cakesicle cake mixture into small oval balls (approximately the size of your cake popsicle mold).
11. 11Press cake mixture into cakesicle mold. Top should be just slightly lower than top of mold (leave a small space for chocolate coating on top).
12. 12Insert cakesicle sticks into cake popsicle mold.
13. 13Spoon approximately ½ teaspoon melted chocolate on top of each cakesicle. Spread evenly with a knife or spoon.
14. 14Clean any excess chocolate around the edges. If there is any remaining, you can also trim off after chocolate has hardened.
15. 15Place Halloween cake popsicles back refrigerator or freezer until chocolate is fully hardened.
16. 16Carefully remove Halloween cake popsicles from the mold. If there is excess chocolate around the edges, lay on a piece of parchment paper and trim with a small paring knife.
