Cake Pops


I have seen these on blogs, specifically Bakerella.  I did mine a little different because I didn't have any candy melts.  I made a chocolate ganache and then rolled some of them in either toasted pecans or toasted coconut.  They were a little messy as the excess dripped off.  I used my Pampered Chef stackable cooling rack to keep them upright while the chocolate was setting.  Here is a link to the directions from Instructables.com.  To be honest, I think mine are going to be too rich and I don't think I would make them again as they are rather time intensive.  However, it was fun and since my sewing yesterday went from bad to worse as I had to rip out my stitches at least 3x, I had to do something that yielded some type of success.  I am having lunch today with a friend and I usually bring dessert...so I killed two birds with one stone!  The girls will also take one to their teachers today.  I love sending in unexpected goodies to the teachers!  Have a good day....!

UPDATE:  I tasted some of the *misfits* that fell apart and they aren't too rich.  Rich, but not too rich!
