I've never wanted to make cake pops. Yuck=frosting--I scrape it off when I eat cake--but you can't avoid the frosting in cake pops, because it's mixed in. The mere thought of the stirring of the frosting and mushed cake makes me feel oogy the way packaged Danish with white icing does.
But Big Sis received the Betty Crocker Halloween Cookbook from her grandparents in Iowa and she chose the "Boneyard Dirt Pops" when I told her we could bake something today with a friend. I was so psyched to find that these are not even cake pops--they're Oreo cookie and cream cheese pops, dipped in melted chocolate chips. No baking! So easy! So...sweet.
We used a package of reduced fat Oreos blended with eight ounces of light cream cheese. The girls rolled balls of batter and we chilled them for 45 minutes. Then we stuck the pop sticks in and dipped the balls in melted chocolate. Excess "dirt" (crumbled Oreos) and sprinkles topped them off.
We're giving some to the friends who kindly dropped off owl cupcakes the other day (*burp*).
