I had so much fun making Halloween cake pops with my Goodcook Halloween cake pop mold. I used Duncan Hines Funfetti cake mix and baked the cake according to the box directions.   I made (2) 9 inch cake rounds.   I then let the cake cool. I then took the cake rounds and 3/4 container of 16 oz pre-made frosting (white) and placed both in my food processor and pulsed until it was a sand-like consistency. I then took an ice cream scooper and scooped it into the molds. I then took the cake pop stick and dipped it into melted chocolate and placed it into the hole.  The chocolate acts as an adhesive to allow the cake to stick to it.  I then placed it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.  The main idea is to let it set.  You can let it sit at room temperature as well.  Make sure to keep it covered. When the molds were ready I removed them and started to decorate them.  You can make hair by dipping the pop into sugars while the frosting or chocolate coating is still wet.
