Before you jump to Cake Pops recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Healthy Eating Can Be An Easy Choice.
Healthy eating is now a lot more popular than in the past and rightfully so. There are a number of illnesses related to a poor diet and there is a cost to the overall economy as individuals suffer from diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. There are more and more efforts to try to get us to follow a more healthy lifestyle and still it is also easier than ever to rely on fast, convenient food that is often bad for our health. Most likely, most people think that it takes too much work to eat healthily and that they will have to drastically change their way of life. It is possible, though, to make several small changes that can start to make a positive impact to our everyday eating habits.
The first change you can make is to pay more attention to what you purchase when you shop for food as it is likely that you tend to pick up many of the things without thinking. For instance, in all likelihood you have never checked the box of your favorite cereal to find out how much sugar it contains. Having a bowl of oatmeal will supply you with the energy to face the day while protecting your heart at the same time. Mix in fruits or spices to enhance the flavor and now you have a breakfast that can become a usual part of your new healthy diet.
To sum up, it is not hard to start to make healthy eating a part of your daily lifestyle.
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to cake pops recipe. To make cake pops you only need 7 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you do that.
The ingredients needed to cook Cake Pops:
- Get Cake Mix ( your choice of flavor )
- Take Icing ( you can use pre-made or make your own)
- Get Melting chocolate ( any color )
- Use Sprinkles or dusting sugar ( any variety )
- Use Cake pop sticks
- Get Clear plastic cake pop bags
- Take Vegetable oil ( if needed )
Steps to make Cake Pops:
- Make cake mix according to directions on box
- Let cake cool completely
- Once cake is cool, break it up into very small pieces. You want it to be a very fine crumble like consistency. I only use the middle of the cake and take over the edges as they tend to be harder.
- Add icing to the cake crumbles. Mix together until all the cake is mixed in the icing. You should be able to make a small ball and it hold its shape. If it's too dry just add a small amount more of icing.
- Shape cake into small golf size balls. Place them on a cookie sheet then refrigerate for about an hour, or you can freeze them for about 30 minutes. You want them to be a little stiff but not rock solid frozen.
- Take cake pop sticks and dip into chocolate then into cake ball. Then dip the cake pop back into the chocolate. Tap excess chocolate off cake pop, swirling to coat the entire pop. Also make sure you dip the PPP deep enough that you get chocolate where the cake meets the stick (the base). This helps to "cement" the cake pop to the stick.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments until melted and thinned out. ( you can add a small bit of vegetable oil to make it thinner and easier to dip in ). It's best to melt the chocolate in mugs or cups that are deep. This make it easier to dip the cake pop in later.
- Quickly sprinkle on dusting sugar or sprinkles as desired. The chocolate hardens fairly quick so make sure you have everything set up they you want to use.
- Set the cake pop upright into another mug or into styrofoam if you have it so the chocolate can set.
- Once done coating all the cake pops with chocolate store them on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator to harden thoroughly.
- At this point you could put them in individual clear bags to distribute or set up for a display at a party, etc.
