I love Halloween I spend weeks decorating my house in preparation for the big Pumpkin Carving Party. I have fun every year trying new recipes and making new desserts. I was inspired to create something new and I saw these cute mummy cake pops on Pinterest. And if you remember from last year, I complained because the cake pops are easy to make but they are a bit time consuming. I had some fun making these Mummy Halloween cake pops with my children so all the effort was well worth it. Any time I can get them involved in the kitchen and getting them to spend some one on one time with me - is good! Keep in mind if you do make these cake pops you have the option to add the sprinkles. If you choose to make an assortment add the sprinkles immediately, otherwise the cake pops cool down rapidly and the sprinkles do not stick once the chocolate has cooled. Have fun with it and try something new. Please share your thoughts and creations with me in the comment section below or on Facebook at Cecelias Good Stuff.
