There is no other word for this tasty treat.
I know that cooking recipes are reserved for Monday's on my blog, but I need to give these babies their own blog post.
Aren't they fun? And they weren't hard to make. Once we had the right chocolate.
More on that in a minute.
This recipe was lifted from one of my favorite blogs - MckMama. This woman takes the most amazing photographs, and even though she doesn't bake, she makes some pretty incredible things. You can also find the recipe and more fun ideas on the original site - Bakarella.

Moving on.
Cake pops.
1 box cake mix. I chose chocolate because chocolate is my favorite. But you can use any kind
- cook the cake as directed on box for 13x9 cake
cream cheese frosting. I made it, but you can buy it in a can. I will put the recipe for the cream cheese frosting below.
2-3 9 ounce packages of Bliss Hershey's Meltaways. You can use other chocolate, but we found that these worked the best.
You will need wax paper and wooden dowels (or lolipop sticks or candy pop sticks) to put the cakes on. And styrofoam for them to stand in to dry.
Cream cheese frosting
8ounce package cream cheese, softened
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cream
3 cups powdered sugar
Directions.
1. After the cake is cooked and cooled completely (we had to remove it from the pan to speed this up) crumble into a large bowl.
- we used our food processor to crumble the cake. It worked rather well - see?



-- we used a spatula to combine. You can use a spoon or your hands.
4. Form the cake mixture into balls and put them on a tray (or we used a baking pan) on wax paper. Refrigerate for about 4 hours. We left them in the fridge overnight. You can also freeze them to speed up the process





We left the chocolate on the warm heat while we dipped our cake balls into the chocolate. That kept it liquid because we are SLOW.
6. Put the wooden dowels into the chilled balls. One by one, I dipped them into the melted candy.

7. Rotate it around and drip all excess chocolate off before putting the cake pops upright.
