There were far too many of them. They were given to co-workers, security guards, secretaries, home groupers, and homeless men, but contrary to the "Who has leftover cake?!" notion, well, I had leftover cake.
So our Christmas treat will be peppermint cake pops. I thought they were quite easy to make until I remembered that the cake and frosting had been finished several days prior and mixed into ball-able dough yesterday.
The resulting treat is satisfyingly cute and super rich, with a fun minty crunch of the candy cane at the end.
Find instructions here. I saw no need for the edible wax, used buttercream frosting, and homemade chocolate cake. If you're going through the trouble to make these, why not bake your own cake?
And there was enough chocolate left over to make a little Christmas eve treat for after our special meal--
Frozen chocolate covered bananas.
Merry Christmas to all!
