Halloween Treats – Peanut Butter Fudge Filled Black Cat Pops

Published: Oct 22, 2015 · Recipe by: Beth · This post may contain affiliate links.

Who needs ordinary peanut butter cups when you can have these adorably cute, decadently rich, Peanut Butter Fudge Filled Black Cat Pops for Halloween instead? These chocolate  Halloween treats look so sweet that kids are going to love them, but taste so amazing that you might not be able to keep adults from snatching them up.

Who needs ordinary peanut butter cups when you can have these adorably cute, decadently rich, Peanut Butter Fudge Filled Black Cat Pops for Halloween? These cute chocolate dipped treats look so sweet that kids will love them, but taste so grown up that adults wont be able to resist.

Can you handle the cuteness?

I know, it’s Halloween and my cats should be scary, but I just can’t resist making them cute.

I spent 2 hours designing these Halloween lollipops, trying to make them look more sinister. I added wicked yellow eyes, then green eyes, then orange ones. I tested out several different candy noses and whiskers, and in the end, I make them look identical to the Candy Filled Black Cat Cookies I made last week.

This design, just makes me happy, and that is what Halloween treats are all about for me.

Now these are black cats no one would be scared of, even on Halloween. Each Peanut Butter Fudge Filed Black Cat Pop is dipped in chocolate and decorated with sweet candy eyes, nose and whiskers. See the step-by-step tutorial at Hungry Happenings.

Our party is just days from now, and I have lots more Halloween treats to make, so I’m keeping this post short and sweet today.

Transform rich and cream peanut butter fudge into lollipops. You can decorate them to look like cauldrons or cats for Halloween.

Hop on over to check out my Peanut Butter Fudge Filled Chocolate Cauldrons, to see how you can make the most amazingly creamy peanut butter fudge that can be poured into a cake pops pan and turned into lollipops.

Then jump back here to see how you can decorate those peanut butter pops to look like black cats for Halloween.

This Halloween turn lusciously creamy peanut butter fudge into adorably cute Peanut Buffer Fudge Filled Black Cat Pops. See how at HungryHappenings.com

Once you have your pops made you can dip them in melted and tempered semi-sweet chocolate or melted dark cocoa candy melts to make your cats. If you use Candy Melts, you need to allow the melted candy coating to cool to about 91-92 degrees F before dipping so that the peanut butter fudge does not melt and it’s thick enough to spike into fur.

For detailed information and a step-by-step tutorial on choosing and melting/tempering different types of chocolate, check out my Chocolate Making Tips page.

See the step-by-step tutorial for making and decorating Peanut Butter Fudge filled Black Cat Pops for Halloween at HungryHappenings.com.

Dip one pop at a time, allowing the chocolate to set for 30-90 seconds. Then press a fork up against the chocolate and pull away quickly, creating spikes of chocolate fur. Do this over the entire surface of the lollipop making your pops look furry. Insert the lollipop into a cake pops stand or a block of Styrofoam and allow the pops to dry.

Pipe 32 chocolate triangles onto a parchment lined baking sheet for the cat’s ears. Attach two ears to each pop using a dab of chocolate. Allow the ears to attach firmly then use a fork to add a bit more chocolate to the ears and make them look furry too.

Use a dab of chocolate to attach two jumbo candy eyes, 6 whiskers, and a large pink heart sprinkle nose. I used edible Easter grass for my whiskers. You could also use licorice laces or even pipe out some pink candy melt sticks and use them.

    Where did you get your little green-handled knife that you use in all your posts to trim excess chocolate off?

      I usually use just a cheap paring knife because they are really thin. I’ve had them for years, but have seen them in the grocery store, at Walmart and even at the dollar store.
