Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, and continue beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Add in black food coloring to achieve a dark, spooky color.
Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. Add in about 3/4 cup of the prepared frosting and mix until the cake mixture is moist and can hold its shape. Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in separate bowls. Dip the lollipop sticks into the melted chocolate and then insert them into the cake balls. This will help them stay in place. Dip the cake pops into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to coat them evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the baking sheet. For the ghosts, use the white chocolate to create small 'ghostly' shapes on top of the cake pops.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once set, use a toothpick to add any final details, such as eyes or a mouth, to your ghost cake pops.
Your Halloween ghost cake pops are now ready to be served and enjoyed! These spooky treats are sure to be a hit at any Halloween party. They can also be wrapped up in cellophane and given as festive gifts. Happy Halloween!
