'POP' your way into summer

Enjoying a feather-like delicate cake at any occasion wraps up wonderful memories. However, not everyone can finish a whole piece of cake. Why not savour the flavour in one bite?

Cake pops represent all the ingredients in a regular cake, just made into a golf ball size covered in delectable chocolate. Carrot, red velvet, devil’s food, French vanilla and golden cake. As a new twist on the icing, the balls are covered in melted chocolate to lock in all that fluffiness.

All you will need are just 3 ingredients:

· Any cake in a box mix

· Nutella/any flavour icing

· Hershey’s cookies and crème bars

Cake mix:

This part is the easiest and the most fun. Pick any boxed cake mix you like and follow the ingredients for the base. Once all your ingredients are incorporated, pour the batter into a

rectangle baking pan and cook as the box directs (lick the spoon and bowl to speed up the cleaning process).

If you have any leftover cake you made previously, that will work just as well.

Rolling out:

Crumble your baked cake into pea-size pieces. Now, depending on how fluffy or dense you want your cake pop you want, you can add more or less icing. For this recipe; I used a little bit of Nutella, its hazelnut and chocolate taste adds a marbled twist to a vanilla cake crumble.

Once your icing/Nutella is mixed into your cake, it’s time to roll the balls to how small or big you like.

Chill:

Your cake pops are rolled out, but now it’s time to chill them for a couple of hours to ensure no breakage and an even chocolate coating later on. In addition, stick your lollipop stick before entering the fridge.

Chocolate coat:

What would go with cake pops; milk or white chocolate? How about cookies and crème chocolate. Melting 8 Hershey’s cookies and crème bars on a double boiler until there are no bars remaining. Now; time to coat your pops, submerging your pops until you see no more cake. Removing the pops from the chocolate and placing them upwards for the chocolate to harden.

Add some sprinkles to brighten things up.
