Chocolate Cake Pops

I keep hearing about Cake Pops so thought I would try them out.  Small round cakes on sticks, very easy to eat!

 I bought a mould and some sticks on ebay (which cost me approx £6 in total) and set to work...

TO MAKE

1. I used a simple vanilla cupcake recipe:

This recipe could be halved and you'd easily get 12 cake pops!
2.  Place some mixture in each section of the mould - just so it's level.
3.  Then placed the top half of the mould on and baked in the oven.  Begin to check they are cooked after 15minutes - insert a kebab skewer into the hole in the mould - if it comes out clean they are ready.

 

4. Leave to cool slightly, then while they are still warm remove the top half of the mould and insert sticks.  I then used mugs to keep them upright while they fully cooled off.
5. Microwave chocolate in a bowl until it's melted (stir approx every 20 secs to avoid burning). Then roll the cake pops in the chocolate to coat them, return to the mugs to set.

They are delicious with milk or white chocolate, and far too easy to eat!

PS. Check your instructions that come with the mold before you start, just in case they're different!
