Cake Pops and Strawberry Lemonade (gluten free)

Would you like a quick, easy, snack or dessert for your family?  Or a quick go-to treat for a classroom full of kids!  Two words....cake pops.  Two more....Betty Crocker.  
(and she has a g-free mix) 
I promise you the Gluten Free mix is as tasty as the regular...no sarcasm here! 1 box will make about 36 pops.


Now this little baby, a cake pop maker I found at Target for $15.00.  It is magic, it is unicorns and glitter.  GET ONE! Make your cake batter as directed and fill just before the top of the cake pop hole, close and wait for the green light to come on.  They are beautiful!  (Am I overly excited?)


Once the cakes have cooled take candy melts, found at your local craft store (Michael's or Hobby Lobby).  You will find them with the cake baking wares.  You can also get sticks for the cake pops here.  1 package will make about 18 pops.
If you melt the coating in a small enough bowl, you can coat the cake bites relatively easy.  Once they are coated set them on wax paper to dry.  If you want to add sprinkles do it while they are wet. Before you run out of melt, add a little to the top where the stick goes into the cake.  If you don't the weight of the cake pop makes it just slide off the stick. 

Serve with milk or some really great home made strawberry lemonade.  All you do is take lemonade and add it 3/4 full in your blender, then add frozen strawberries.  Such a great and easy snack!  

Want an even easier snack?  Just coat pretzels with the melt and add sprinkles.  Kids go crazy for them AND you can find gluten free pretzels in your health food store.
