Cake Pops

It is summer birthday season at home. My first born has a July birthday and second child an August birthday, so we usually have one big celebration somewhere in between. A lot of thought goes into the planning of these parties. Unlike my husband who thinks planning a party just requires a tray of biriyani and some liquor.LOL!!!I LOVE PARTY PLANNING!!! This year we are going to have it at an Indoor Moon bounce Place, but I wanted to make it special so I decided to try and make some 'Cake Pops" to add to the favor boxes. When I looked online I needed to get a mold (molds cost anywhere from $10 and up) to begin with and then you have to bake the cake pops before getting started, that's when I stumbled upon a blog for easy and simple baking. They use Munchkins or Doughnut Holes instead. I tried dipping these in frosting and chocolate chips but they didn't coat them well enough but Candy Melts along with some oil/butter gave me the correct consistency to coat the cake pops. These desserts are very sweet so get your "sweet tooth" ready! Decorating them is the fun part for kids and adults alike!

Ingredients
Munchkins( from Dunkin Doughnuts)-25
Wilton 8" lollipop sticks-25
Wilton Candy Melts-1 bag
Oil/Butter-1 tsp
Sprinkles
Styorofoam
(Once done and candy hardened you can individually wrap these cake pops and tie with ribbon to make them look pretty)

Directions
1.Melt the candy melts according to direction on the back. Add some oil/butter till the consistency is nice and smooth.

2.Take all the lollipop sticks and dip the end of the stick in some candy and refrigerate them for a minute or two till it hardens.

3.Next take each cake and roll them in the melted candy melt till coated evenly. Shake off the excess candy and decorate with sprinkles before placing them upright in styrofoam. (You can see mine are done in Pink and Purple the fav colors of my girls!)

4.After they cake pops have set and candy is hardened, bag them in individual treat bags and tie with ribbon.

5.They can be made a couple of days in advance. Make sure not to refrigerate them because they will cause condensation.

Hint-You can also get Wilton's treat bags from Michaels or A.C Moore along with some fancy ribbon to jazz them up.
