Vampire Bite Cake Pops (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 box vanilla cake mix
02 - Ingredients as required for cake mix preparation (typically eggs, water, and vegetable oil as per manufacturer instructions)
03 - 120 ml vanilla frosting

→ Decoration

04 - 340 g white chocolate melts
05 - Red gel icing

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Prepare the vanilla cake according to the instructions on the package and allow it to cool completely.
02 - Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
03 - Add the vanilla frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together.
04 - Portion and roll the mixture into 2.5 cm balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up the cake balls.
06 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
07 - Dip the tip of each cake pop stick into the melted white chocolate, then insert it halfway into a chilled cake ball to secure.
08 - Dip each cake pop fully into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
09 - Drizzle red gel icing over the coated cake pops to create a blood effect typical of vampire bites.
10 - Allow the decorated cake pops to set at room temperature until the coating is firm before serving.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For best presentation, use a block of styrofoam to hold cake pops upright as the coating sets.
