This is my attempt to make cake pops. I've been wanting to make them for a long time, but was waiting for the perfect opportunity. It finally came. They were really easy to make and didn't take nearly as much time as I though they would. My daughter and I had a blast making them together.
This is how you make them:
Bake a cake and let it cool.
Dump your cake into bowl and crumble it with a fork (My daughter loved this part).
Pour 3/4 a jar of frosting into your crumbled cake and combine with a fork.
Roll into balls.
Freeze for about an hour.
Cover in melted chocolate (turns out the majority of melting chocolate is processed with peanuts. I went to three stores before I found some that was safe and of course it was by far the most expensive. Oh well.)
I found melon tic-tacs at Target. We put those on the top after they were coated in chocolate so they would look like pumpkins.
Some we had fun with . . .
and decorated to look like jack-o-lanterns.
Others we wrapped up . . .
to bring to friends.
