Sorry, no pictures for this one. :( I made them for a friend's birthday and they were gone super fast) Anyway, Cake Pops, as I'm sure you know, are the trending treat of the year. Luckily, they can be made without the sticks (even though pops are more fun).
Ingredients:
1/2 can cream cheese frosting (I'm sure homemade works wonderfully as well)
1 box strawberry cake mix (the birthday girl loved strawberry, but I give you permission to use other flavors)
1 package chocolate bark/chips
Directions:
1. Bake the cake according to directions for a 9x13 pan. Cool completely.
2. Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl with your hands.
3. Mix thoroughly with 1/2 can of frosting.
4. Roll mixture into quarter-size balls and lay on a cookie sheet.
5. Chill in freezer for about 2 hours.
6. Melt chocolate in microwave (or use double broiler) and roll balls in chocolate. Lay on wax paper until firm.
(Have fun with the decorating! There are examples of super cute seasonal pops all over Pinterest. Personally, I used the rest of the can of frosting in addition to the chocolate to make Neapolitan-type cake balls. Again, they were a big hit.)
Makes about 40-50.
Thanks to My Sweetest Dreams for the recipe, adapted from there.
