Ingredients
1 box cake mix (any flavor) + ingredients listed on the box
1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
12 oz candy melts (in Halloween colors: orange, green, purple, black)
1 tbsp vegetable shortening (optional, for thinning coating)
Candy eyes and sprinkles for decoration
Cakesicle sticks or popsicle sticks
Instructions
1. Bake the cake according to package directions and allow it to cool completely.
2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
3. Add frosting a spoonful at a time, mixing until the mixture holds together when pressed.
4. Melt candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
5. Spoon a layer of melted candy into the cakesicle mold, coating the sides evenly.
6. Chill molds for a few minutes to set the coating.
7. Press cake mixture into each mold, leaving space at the top for sealing.
8. Insert sticks and cover with more melted candy to seal the back.
9. Refrigerate until fully set, then carefully remove from molds.
10. Decorate with drizzled candy melts, candy eyes, and sprinkles for a spooky finish.
Notes
Use a combination of colors for a monster variety pack.
If candy melts are too thick, add a teaspoon of shortening to thin them.
Store cakesicles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Add edible glitter or colored chocolate drizzle for an extra festive look.
Perfect for Halloween parties, trick-or-treat favors, or spooky dessert tables!
