I was telling my friend Patti, the other day that sometimes I just need a bite of cake. One bite…like at ten o’clock at night when it’s quiet and the kids are asleep and I’m enjoying my down time. And not a whole piece of cake, just a bite.
I had about a dozen devil’s food cupcakes left over from the boy’s special birthday treats and decided to go all Bakerella. I crumbled the cupcakes up in a big bowl. Here’s where I went crazy.
I crushed an entire sleeve of Girl Scout Thin Mints into the cupcake crumbles.
Yum, right? Then I emptied a can of vanilla icing into the bowl. I really wanted to use cream cheese icing, but hubby is not big on cream cheese icing. I did not need to eat all of these cake balls myself, so I compromised. In this case, vanilla icing=fitting into my pants.
I mushed it all up and formed little balls. I had some little wooden spoon things…remember like those ones you used to get with the ice cream cups?…and stuck those in each ball. I stuck them in the freezer for a bit and then dipped them in light cocoa candy melts. I added a few sprinkles, because, well, sprinkles make everything taste better.
Now to just eat one.
Love this idea!!! Where can I find these great spoons? Keep up the fab work!
I found those spoons in the freezer section of my grocery store. They go with the little ice cream cups. I just made the kids use regular spoons so I could keep the little wooden ones!
So cute and I love your presentation.
