Baby Shower Cake Pops

I made these for my Daughter's Baby Shower. They were a big hit!

To make the cake pops I used a boxed chocolate cake mix, bake as directed, cool and mix with 1/2 can chocolate frosting. Use an ice cream scoop and place on parchment paper, roll each ball until smooth. Dip lollipop stick into meted chocolate and press into cake ball. Freeze until slightly hardened. Dip in your favorite chocolate and decorate.

I also made pumpkin pops using a yellow cake mix, use 1/2 the amount of water and 1/2 the amount of oil and 1 c. Pumpkin 3 T. Pumpkin pie spice and 1 t. cinnamon. Bake as directed, cool, crumble and add 1/2 can cream cheese frosting.

Enjoy!!!!
