I made these for my baby girl for her 18th birthday…
I know these are like a novelty, and everybody seems to be on the cake pop train. If you know me, you’ll know I don’t really care about getting on trains – go here to see how once upon a time I made cake pops my very own. (Hint: Bourbon and bacon are both involved).
One of the differences between typical cake pops and these is the fact that I added cookie dough to the mix. You may have to freeze them a few minutes longer so they hold their shape, but they’re worth it.
My daughter and her friends LOVED these.
I rolled them in Andes Peppermint Crunch Chips, but you could crush candy canes or any peppermint candy you have on hand.
Using the same batter, I also rolled some in Peppermint Oreos and crushed peppermint sticks just to change things up a bit.
