So, I've been MIA for a couple days, my email at work was hacked and I have spent the past few days changing and updating passwords for my entire life and my works entire life. To say I'm mentally exhausted is an understatement!!! People Suck!!!
I made these for my Card Class on Sunday. They were a huge hit. They are my new favorite, but they are dangerous, hard to walk away from *lol*
Carrot Cake Pops
Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Carrot Cake Mix
- Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup from 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 cups white candy melts or coating wafers (24 oz)
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 50 paper lollipop sticks
- 1 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
- Block of plastic foam
- Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs and adding grated carrot. Cool. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on cookie sheet. Freeze until firm; keep refrigerated.
- In microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts and shortening uncovered on Medium (50%) 2 minutes, then in 15-second intervals, until melted; stir until smooth.(I used white almond bark & coconut oil. I put it in my mini crockpot on low and it melted great)
- Dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted candy and insert stick into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Repeat. Return cake pops to cookie sheet. Refrigerate 5 minutes. Remove from refrigerator a few at a time. Dip each cake ball into melted candy to cover; tap off excess. Immediately dip top in walnuts, pressing to adhere. Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Let stand until set.
- (I gave up on cake pops and do cake balls *lol* you just throw the stick away anyways)
