Cake Pops...

...are a lot harder to make than they look.


They're simple. I mean, it's a box mix and store-bought frosting-- how hard could it be?  Mix those together and roll into balls and refrigerate, (or even freeze -which I eventually ended up doing). Then melt some almond bark or candy coating, dip your stick into it and poke it into the  balls, and then dip the balls --or maybe I should have dipped the balls and then poked them with the stick.  Either way, it was really hard to keep the balls on the sticks.  They kept poking all the way through and sliding down the sticks.  It was a mess.  Oh yeah, and don't overheat your coating, it will dry out and be useless.  Well a tasty kind of useless anyway. :)


And although they're super yummy, I don't know that I'll try making them again.

You can make them without the stick and they are "truffles". Look up a recipe for "homemade oreo truffles" they are divine!

Yes, I had the same experience. Yummy, but NEVER as cute as the pictures. Of course, maybe you have to make them a million times before you get the hang of it. ?
