My second attempt at cake pops.
I tried a Cherry Chip cake mix with cream cheese frosting
How to make these scrumptious little treats:
1 box of cake mix
1 can of frosting
Bake the cake according to the directions on the box
Let it cool
Crumple the cake in a large bowl
Mix in the frosting
Roll the mixture into round balls
In the past, I just put the balls into the freezer
Next time though, I'm going to try putting them on sticks
Then putting them in the freezer
Melt chocolate
Dip Cake Pops into chocolate
So I am not the best at this dipping thing. It could be because I'm using chocolate chips instead of melting chocolate? Anyone??? I did find that using the sticks is helpful; however, these cake balls seemed to stay very moist {yeah, I know many people do not like that word... sorry but it's the only way I can think to describe it}. I just need more practice with the dipping! You can decorate them in so many ways. I'm too lazy to do the drizzle, sprinkles, ect., so with me you just get plain. You can also mix up the flavors. I did one before with a yellow cake mix, chocolate frosting, dipped in a mixture of chocolate chips and butterscotch chips (half and half). Those are my favorite so far. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or flavor ideas! Also, I created my own little box to hold the Cake Pops but I hear that Bed, Bath, and Beyond may have something coming in so you can display these yummy treats a little nicer than on a Jessica Simpson shoe box! Hey- it will work for now though!
