Preparation Steps

• Prepare donut holes and mini donuts for dipping. Gently roll each donut between your palms to ensure a smooth surface. Determine where you will insert the cake pop stick, usually on the flatter side to ensure the smoothest rounded side is at the top.
• Melt the candy melts according to package directions. This typically involves heating in the microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring until smooth and fluid. You can also use a double boiler.
• Carefully dip one end of each cake pop stick into the melted candy melts, then immediately insert it into the center of a donut hole or mini donut. Allow these to cool completely, standing upside down if possible, to set the stick firmly in place.
• Once the candy melts around the sticks have cooled and hardened, carefully dip each cake pop into the remaining melted candy. Rotate the pop gently to ensure it's fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
• Before the candy melts set, attach candy eyes and sprinkle with assorted Halloween sprinkles. Use the black writing gel to draw mouths or other spooky details as desired. Let the cake pops set completely before serving.
