Well one thing's for sure, while they are easy in "theory," they are oh soooooo time consuming!!! I had to make 6 dozen and two cake mixes only got me 5, so I didn't have an extra dozen for sampling. The time consuming part is the dipping in chocolate and tapping them and letting them drip and start to dry before moving on to the next. Thank goodness I enlisted The Husband to help me in my make shift cake pop factory because without him it would have taken wayyyyy longer than the 5 total hours it took already! Yup.
With all of that said, Phase 2 of the process was a special kind of fun, because I had a special little helper by my side:
 |
| I want IN that bowl! |
 |
| One day, I will get an entire fist in there |
 |
| Much better than the broccoli Mommy |
The cookie exchange was a hit, the goodies I brought home are delicious and I think the other girls took pity on me and gave me the prize for "most original cookie" simply because I spent so much time on the damn things :-D

LOL, I am always tempted to try making those cake pops as well but never actually got around to it. I'm glad you posted this, I'd rather just eat the cake and look at the photos ;). Great photos of your little helper, he really gets into his work! :)
They are adorable!!! And so is the little guy "helping"! You did a great job!
Oh, I think they turned out wonderfully! Despite being time consuming.
I LOVE these. I am invited to a cookie exchange too, and think that I might even attempt to make these :D
I am planning a christmas cookie exchange and these are such a brilliant idea!! I can imagine they took you a lot of time but i think it might be worth it to spice up the variety. Your helper was adoreable. lOoks like you had fun in the least!
Oh, I think they converted out wonderfully! Despite being difficult.
