Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crumble the cake into fine crumbs into a bowl. Fold in frosting until the mixture holds together like wet sand.

  2. Step 2

    Roll mixture into 12 golf-ball-sized rounds. Place on parchment paper and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Microwave semi-sweet chips + 0.5 tbsp coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until melted and smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then insert into each cake ball. Dip the ball halfway into chocolate.

  5. Step 5

    Microwave white chocolate chips + 0.5 tbsp coconut oil until melted. Drizzle over the chocolate-dipped pops to create ghost effect.

  6. Step 6

    Add two black sprinkles or dots with edible marker for eyes before the white chocolate sets. Chill until firm, ~5 minutes.
