Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake Pops



This was last years Valentines Day treat that I had lots of fun creating with a friend. I shared on my last blog but thought I'd share it again here this year. Hope you have fun making them!

Ingredients:
1 box strawberry cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup sour cream
1 container cream cheese frosting
Lollipop sticks
Candy melts

Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the cake mix, eggs, milk and sour cream, mix well. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add the frosting and mix with your hands, or the back of a spoon. Form into small bite sized balls and freeze for several hours until firm. Remove from freezer. Reshape balls so they are completely smooth. Push the lollipop sticks into the center of each ball. Melt desired color of candy melts according to package directions and dip cake pops, place on parchment paper to harden. Store the leftovers in the fridge.  Enjoy!

Tip:
I make the cakes balls a few days in advanced and leave them in the freezer. The day I need them is when I decorate them.

3 Ingredient Red Velvet Cookies


I came up with this recipe the other day while grocery shopping. I knew I wanted to create a new dessert recipe for Valentines Day, yet at the same time I'm trying to eat healthy and lose weight. So what better way to indulge in sweets than to make them healthy right? I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I do! Seriously, how much easier (and  healthier) can making a cookie get...

Ingredients:
1 box red velvet cake mix
1 ½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt
1 cup milk or white chocolate chips or ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl combine the cake mix and yogurt. Mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop cookie dough in about 1 inch balls onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven, cool for 5-10 minutes, then remove cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in an air tight container. ENJOY!

Tip:
This recipe is also good as a dip, serve with Vanilla Wafers and/or pretzels.
