Combine the cake crumbs and frosting in a mixing bowl, mixing until the texture feels firm enough to roll into balls but still moist.
Use your hands to shape the mixture into roughly 12 round balls, about one inch in diameter, and place them on a lined baking sheet.
Pop the tray into the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm up the balls, making them easier to dip without falling apart.
While the balls chill, melt the candy melts or melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth and glossy.
Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, using a spoon or fork to fully coat them, and gently shake off any excess before placing them back on the lined tray.
Let the coated cake balls sit at room temperature or in the fridge for about 15 minutes until the coating is firm and set.
Use a small piping bag or a toothpick dipped in red gel to draw red veins and details on each eyeball, creating a creepy, veiny appearance.
Optional: Add additional color details with food coloring or more gel to enhance the bloodshot or bruised look.
Once decorated, allow the eyeballs to sit and set completely—this keeps the decorations in place and the coating firm.
Arrange the spooky eyeball cake pops on a serving platter and enjoy these creepy, delicious treats perfect for Halloween parties or horror movie nights.
