Method
 

Preparation
  1. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  2. Mix in the frosting until the mixture holds together like cookie dough.
  3. Roll the mixture into 24 smooth balls, about 1 1/2 inches wide, and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Freeze the cake balls for 15 minutes to firm them up.
Assembly
  1. Melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate and dip the tip of each stick into it before inserting it halfway into each chilled cake ball.
  2. Freeze the cake pops again for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Melt the remaining white chocolate and dip each cake pop to coat them completely.
  4. Stand each coated pop upright until the coating sets, about 5-10 minutes.
Decoration
  1. Press one candy eyeball onto the front of each pop.
  2. Use red gel food coloring to create bloodshot veins around the eye.
Serving
