This year I made cake pops with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. I dipped half of the pops in white chocolate and the other half in dark chocolate. I love the taste of Ghirardelli candy melts but they are a little runny. I mixed half Ghirardelli candy melts with half Wilton candy melts -- it was the perfect combination of flavor and consistency.
I sprinkled the white cake pops with clear sugar sprinkles, and the dark cake pops with white nonpareils. I packaged them using buckets from the One Spot at Target. I also individually wrapped some of the pops with a ribbon and a gift tag. I love how they turned out!
A few weeks ago my son told me that he wanted to give something to the kids in his preschool class. I was inspired by something I saw pre-made at Target. We put jumbo marshmallows on a long sucker stick and dipped them in chocolate candy melts. Then we dipped them in Andes peppermint crunch baking chips. My five-year old was able to do most of the work with a little guidance from me. Easy and fun! The only thing I would do differently next time is to use a thicker stick like a cookie stick.
