Delightfully festive and perfect for any spooky occasion, these Bloody Red Velvet Cake Pops combine moist red velvet cake with creamy frosting, coated in a white chocolate shell and drizzled with ‘bloody’ red accents for a fun Halloween treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (including ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water as required)

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting

Coating and Decoration

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips, melted
  • Red food coloring or red chocolate melts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake: Follow the red velvet cake mix package instructions to bake the cake. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature to prevent melting the frosting in the next step.
  2. Crumble and mix: Break the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of cream cheese frosting and mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together and can be rolled into balls.
  3. Form cake balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Freeze the cake balls for 1 hour to firm them up.
  4. Dip in chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into melted white chocolate chips, ensuring full coverage. Return the coated cake pops to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Add the bloody drizzle: Using red food coloring mixed with a small amount of white chocolate or melted red chocolate melts, drizzle a blood-like pattern over each cake pop to create the ‘bloody’ effect.
  6. Set and serve: Allow the cake pops to set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. Serve and enjoy these spooky, fun treats.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cool before mixing with frosting to avoid excess moisture.
  • Freezing the cake balls solid helps the coating process and maintains the shape.
  • Use a toothpick or fork to dip the cake balls evenly without breaking them.
  • The red drizzle can be adjusted in quantity to achieve desired ‘blood’ effect intensity.
  • Store cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
