I started browsing my daily blogs and came upon these cute treats noted on The Pioneer Woman (the respective blog name is the link to each). They are called Halloween Cake Pops. I borrowed the pics from the blog that has the actual recipe and cute variations. It is called Bakerella. You will definitely want to check it out and see the neat decorating ideas. I wish I would have stumbled across this recipe when I was a room mother. I just might have been the coolest mom around (well, for that hour anyway)!
I thought these were very clever!
Here is the recipe:
Halloween Cake Pops
1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
Wax paper
1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting. (I use the back of a large spoon, but it may be easier to use fingers to mix together. But, be warned, it will get messy. Also, you may not need the entire can of frosting, so start out by using almost the entire can and add more if you need to.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50)
4. Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between.)
5. Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls. (Insert a little less than halfway.)
6. Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up.
7. Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered. Once covered remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don't tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too.
8. Place in a Styrofoam block to dry.
9. Once dry, decorate to your liking.
Ree (aka The Pioneer Woman) suggested to buy different colors of the chocolate for variation.
Too cool huh?
