Ok, these things are all the rage right now.
Easy recipe..
Take a cake mix
Bake the cake and cool...Check
Crumble the cake into a bowl -check , Austin did a great job
Mixin a container of icing - Check
So far so good.
Make mixure into balls and place on wax paper - Again Austin was a good helper.
Now for the Epic fail moment -
Apparently I can't melt chocolate.
Two seperate attempts - candy coating discs in dish in micro
15 secs at a time, stir. But could notget it to melt, then next thing I know it was ruined.
I gave up. Mounded more icing on top and everyone ate them but they looked disasterous.
Reason I try these things first and then just go to the store and buy premade cakes. :(
Didn't even take a picture it was so bad.
Would be a great thing if they turned out like the picture...
But my attempt gets a great big

hey, you are not the only one that cannot melt chocolate. but I love to make cake pops and so I called my grandma for good ole wisdom and it works for me...I have never had luck with using the microwave.period. however....I use a double broiler and it's easier to control. I've never had it burn in the double broiler and it gets ghetto because I want smaller amounts of the chocolate to melt I just use two pots slightly different in size! My double broiler is huge and so I don't use it. but here's my grandma's secret...to put some paraffin wax in with your chocolate to melt and stir it together. it just takes a little bit but you see the magic start to work. I buy the brand "Gulf Wax" it's on the baking aisle at our grocery store with the sugar and cake mixes and it totally edible and works perfect!
I ruined 3 batches of cake pops before using the wax..I thought I must be only one on the planet that cannot melt chocolate.
anyways...now following ya from today's blog hop.
come by and say hello :)
