2 tsps vegetable oil
45 lollypop sticks or skewers

Return cake and blend until well combined. Shape tablespoonsful of mixture around the lollypop sticks. Place on a tray and refrigerate until firm (2 hrs or overnight).
3. Melt chocolate with the oil in a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Use a spoon to pour melted chocolate over cake pop to coat. Swirl stick to allow excess to drip off. Pierce stick into a piece of Styrofoam to allow to set. Pour melted dark chocolate into piping bag and decorate cake pops to resemble skulls. Allow chocolate to set. Cake pops will keep for 2 days stored in refrigerator.
