I've been on a cake pop kick lately. My sister sent me some Oreo cake icing and I knew I couldn't make cupcakes after my recent tirade. Cake pops are a great way to use up the bits and pieces of cake paraphernalia I've accumulated.

I used a yellow cake mix, mixed with the Oreo icing, dipped in white and milk chocolate (that Dr. Oetker sent me) and sprinkled with finely crushed Oreo cookies.

I made the cake balls froze them overnight and then dipped them when I got home from work. These are tasty and quick for weeknight baking.

Oreo Cake Pops

Ingredients

1 box cake mix

1-2 packages Oreo icing (if you don't live in the US or have little sisters that send you stuff you can make your own Oreo icing by folding some crushed cookies into vanilla icing)

milk and/or white chocolate for dipping

1 roll Oreo cookies

Lolly sticks

This made one 8 inch cake round (a typical cake mix makes 2). I got this at the $1 store!

1. Make the cookie crumbs by throwing in a good handful of Oreo's in a food processor and grind until fine.


2. Make the cake according to the package (or make one from scratch). Set aside (or in the fridge) to cool.

3. Once the cake is cool crumble it finely with a fork. Squeeze half of the frosting into the cake and stir until it starts to combine. Add more frosting as needed (I used the whole tube). If you used a regular cake mix you might need 2 pouches.

4. Using an ice cream scoop make a round shape using 2 scoops of cake for each one. Line on a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes stick the lolly stick in each and freeze over night (use a dab of melted chocolate on the end when you stick them in).

5. Once the pops are firm, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on 30 second intervals. Dip each pop in and shake off the excess. Sprinkle with the cookie crumbs straight away as it will set quickly! Store in an airtight container.
