Ingredients
Scale
Sprinkles and Decorations
- 3.5 oz. Pumpkin Sprinkles
- 0.88 oz. Candy Eyeballs
- 3 oz. White Nonpareils
- 4.8 oz. Black Sugar Pearls
- 1 oz. Large Candy Eyeballs
- 1 oz. Large Edible Black and White Candy Eyeball Sprinkles
- 3 oz. Skull and Bones Sprinkles Mix
- 3.25 oz. Orange Sanding Sugar
- 3.25 oz. Black Sanding Sugar
Candy Melts and Coloring
- Bright White Candy Melts
- 4 Color Primary Icing Colors Set (use orange to tint candy)
Instructions
- Make Sprinkles Mix: Separate the sprinkles into two bowls. In one bowl, combine black sugar pearls, skull and bones sprinkles, and half of the black nonpareils. In the second bowl, combine orange sanding sugar, black sanding sugar, pumpkin sprinkles (jack-o’-lantern sprinkles), and the remaining half of the black nonpareils. Each mix should measure approximately 1/2 cup.
- Prepare Melted Candy: Melt the bright white candy melts following package instructions. Tint half of the melted candy with orange from the icing color set, leaving the other half white. Transfer each colored melted candy into separate decorating bags for piping.
- Make Pops: Working with one decorating bag at a time, cut a small hole at the tip. Pipe a 2-inch diameter circle of melted candy onto a parchment paper-covered cake board. Insert about 1 inch of a treat stick into the center of the candy circle. Tap the board gently to smooth and even out the candy. Immediately scatter the corresponding sprinkle mix over the wet candy, then place candy eyeballs atop the sprinkles. Repeat for the desired number of pops using both colors.
- Chill to Set: Place the cake board with the pops into the refrigerator and chill for 5 to 10 minutes or until the candy has fully set and hardened.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy removal of pops once set.
- Ensure the melted candy is not too hot to avoid melting the sprinkles and candy eyeballs upon application.
- Customize by adding other Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible glitter for extra sparkle.
- Store the pops in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
