Equipment

How to make Festive Halloween Donut Cake Pops
Prep
Start by placing each donut hole on its own cake pop stick, set them aside on parchment paper.
Then, pour the different Halloween sprinkles in separate small bowls, for rolling the cake pops in, set those aside.
Melt chocolate
In two small bowls, melt the milk chocolate and white chocolate wafers for 1 minute, following up with 30 second increments, as needed. Be sure to go slowly and do not overheat the chocolate as it will burn quickly. I like to let the chocolate sit for 1-2 minutes after each heating, then stir gently to test how melted they are. Generally, they do not take longer than 1:30 to melt completely.
Working quickly, dip each donut hole in the chocolate of choice. Immediately roll in the desired sprinkles, covering the chocolate completely. Place the cake pop in a slot on the cake pop stand, or lay on parchment paper, allow the chocolate to harden and set for 10 minutes.
Proceed to repeat with the remaining donut holes until they are all coated with chocolate and sprinkles.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for making Donut Hole Cake Pops
Here are just a couple quick helpful tips for making this delicious treat.
- When you are rolling the donut hole in the melted chocolate and sprinkles, you may need a small spoon to help rotate the donut until it is completely covered.
- If you do not have a cake pop stand, the donut holes can be placed in mini cupcake papers for serving after the chocolate has hardened or lay flat on a platter.

HOW LONG WILL DONUT CAKE POPS LAST?
Cake pops can last in a sealed container, in the fridge, for up to 2 days. For that reason, I recommend making them closer to the party date, or when you will be eating them, so that they taste incredible.
CAN DONUT CAKE POPS BE FROZEN?
Yes! These donut pops can do pretty well in the freezer if you freeze in an airtight container for up to a few weeks. Simply thaw before eating, or enjoy cold. The best way to thaw chocolate coated treats is by defrosting them in the fridge. It keeps the chocolate coating cool but the donut will defrost and be soft enough to eat.
