http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/04/make-your-cupcakes-pop.html I have been an admirer of her delectable goodies for several months now but just yesterday decided to finally attempt her cake pops!
Start with cake mix, can of frosting, 4 bags of chocolate melts (2 different colors), red M&M's (my boys loved picking out the red ones for me!) and lollipop sticks. I also recommend buying
Styrofoam or Oasis to hold the pops in place to decorate and display.
Bake your cake according to the boxes directions. Let it cool to room temperature, 2-3 hours.
Mix the can of icing with the cake...
Mix
thoroughly!
Form into 2inch balls and
refrigerate for about 3 hours.
Push the bottom through a 1 1/2 inch scalloped flower mini cookie cutter and the top will form a mound, like the top of a 'cupcake'.
Dip the bottom in a color you would like to resemble a cupcake wrapper. I punched holes in plastic cups to hold the pops as I dipped them.
I opted to remove the sticks since I forgot to buy
Styrofoam blocks. I think they look great as truffles! My husband totally
approved and that is saying
alot! I made these for my son's Principal Honor Roll Award Ceremony tonight (potluck dessert) and had to BEG him to stop eating them!
