Ingredients

  • 1 can dark chocolate frosting
  • cake pop sticks
  • 16 oz chocolate candy coating
  • licorice for eyes
  • pumpkin seeds for feathers
  • candy corn tips for beaks
  • twigs optional

Instructions

  • Crumble baked sheet cake into large mixing bowl and add chocolate frosting to cake, knead until frosting and cake form dough-like consistency.
  • Form dough into 1" balls and place on wax paper lined tray, freeze 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Melt candy coating per package directions and insert candy stick into each cake ball.
  • Dip cake ball into candy coating until completely covered and place on tray with the sticks facing sideways, allow coating to cool and harden.
  • Use candy coating to apply candy eyes, beaks and seed feathers. Allow candy coating to cool and harden completely
  • Remove candy stick and replace with twigs for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

To really make my owl cake pops fly off the tray, I like to surround them with fall accents like decorative branches.
