{Recipe} Starbucks Hack - Peppermint Brownie Cake Pops

Have you seen these yummies at Starbucks?  I thought they were so pretty and looked tasty.

 We recreated them for my daughter's Kick-Off the Christmas Season Party at school.

We haven't made cake pops since this party.

{Red Velvet Cake Balls}
Well technically these were cake balls not pops, but the technique is the same.

I The Tween followed a basic brownie cake pop recipe - baked up a batch of brownies (8x8 pan) from a mix, let it cool completely, crumbled up the brownies and stirred in a half can of chocolate icing until well blended.  Rolled into balls and chilled them in the freezer until they were ready to dip in
 white chocolate melts, then sprinkled with crushed candy canes.

YUM!

We use this old piece of styrofoam to hold the cake pops as they harden up.

After the chocolate has hardened, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.

I displayed them in this metal tub with florist foam inside to hold the pops, then wrapped a ribbon and added a tag to it so the students would know what they were.  A great grab and go treat!
