Yum, these cake pops look delicious, what a great St. Patrick’s Day treat. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
These sound and look pretty good. My grandchildren would love these if I left the mint out. Maybe I will make some with the mint and some without.
Those look very professional and delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Well I bet that will help. Stick the stick in the chocolate first then the cake ball. That might make my next batch much betterr. Thanks!
I’ve made chocolate ones. I’d love to try these mint cake pops. My son-in-law is a St. Paddy’s B-day boy and will have to plan on making these next year. Thanks you for sharing!
I have never had cake pops before and have never made them before. I plan on making them with my nieces.
Made them before once upon a nasty cake box mix – turned out okay, but never liked the taste of box cake! So love this recipe from scratch! Thanks so much.
