Cute and fun ladybug party favors: adorable ladybug cake pops in a terra cotta pot!

Ingredients: 1 box of chocolate cake mix. 1/2 cup chocolate frosting. 1 package red candy melts. 1/4 cup black candy melts. 1/4 cup white candy melts. Edible candy eyes. Lollipop sticks. Terra cotta pots. Styrofoam block for pot filling.

Instructions: Bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions and let it cool. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl and mix in chocolate frosting until well combined. Shape the cake mixture into small ladybug shapes and insert a lollipop stick into each one. Melt the red candy melts in the microwave or using a double boiler. Dip each cake pop into the melted red candy, ensuring it's fully coated, and let excess candy drip off. Place the coated cake pops in a Styrofoam block to let them set. Melt the black candy melts and use it to create ladybug spots on the red coating. Melt the white candy melts and attach edible candy eyes to each ladybug. Insert the ladybug cake pops into the terra cotta pots filled with Styrofoam to resemble a garden. Allow the candy coating to harden completely before serving.
