4 months is just not right!

I know, I know...I've been MIA for sometime now.  I REALLY need to get back on here with my recipes.  I have become a big fan of www.skinnytaste.com  with weight loss, so I haven't done a TON of my own recipes. 

This AWESOME party invite/decor site has actually gotten me back on here though, so thank you DimplePrints! : )  

DIMPLEPRINTS is having a HUGE 1,000 fan giveaway worth $130 in prizes at www.dimpleprints.com!

**I just finished some dark chocolate cake pops...

vanilla cake mix (bake is directed)
dark chocolate frosting (3/4 container)

*mix first two ingredients and shape into small balls slightly smaller than a golf ball.  You may either leave them like that or place them on a cake pop stick.  I like to freeze mine, I think they coat better that way.  Once frozen, melt semi sweet chocolate over a double broiler.  Dip and coat each cake pop, twirling and lightly tapping stick on side, to knock extra chocolate off.  Although I did not, you can decorate with sprinkles, or a second chocolate drizzled on them, etc.  Place standing up to harden.  I had to rig a contraption up using a cooling rack (with small squares) with a big book under it. LOL  Hey, it works!  Once hardened, I prefer to keep mine refrigerated.
