Chocolate Dipped Oreo's

OH MY GOSH!! when I saw these I had to make them for my kids and some for me of course, then I had to share them. I love oreo's and this was a great idea. I think it's self explanitory. However I did find out white chocolate burns quicker than dark, after going through 2 bags of white chocolate chips till I got it right. Have fun decorating you can decorate them for any holiday. Great for teachers, friends, neighbors and even your coworkers. Have fun just don't eat them all :-) yes, it will be hard not too.

You can get the take out boxes at any store, in their sesonal section, Your best bet is a craft store.

CAKE POPS

1 box cake mix, any flavor

1 tub frosting,or ½ C - ¾ C homemade frosting

24 oz pkg candy coating(white or chocolate)

Sprinkles

Lollipop sticks

Bake the cake mix according to package directions. Once it's cool, crumble the cake into a large bowl. Place in a large bowl and stir in half of the frosting container or 1/2 cup of your homemade frosting. Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined and thick like a truffle center. Mix in additional frosting if necessary.Roll mixture into 1″ balls and place on a cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or overnight.

Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package. Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the flat end of the cake balls. Carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered. Once covered, remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don't tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too. Insert in a styrofoam block to harden. Decorate as desired.

Cake Batter Pancakes

Make these tasty pancakes for your little valintines. and for the big one's too.

Cake Batter Pancakes:

makes about 12 pancakes

What You Need

1½ cups all purpose flour

2/3 cup yellow cake mix

1 Tbsp. sugar

¾ tsp. baking powder

pinch of salt

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1-2 cups milk

assorted sprinkles (select holiday themes)

Combine flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix. Add 1 cup of milk, egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. You want the batter to look like regular pancake batter; not too thin, not too thick. This will vary greatly on the brand of cake mix you use. Start with 1 cup of milk and add more if needed. I suggest a small taste test as well to see if the pancakes are flavored enough.Preheat a skillet on medium heat (I use an electric grilled and turn it to 250 degrees). Fold desired amount of sprinkles into batter. Pour batter in 1/4 cup measurements onto skillet and let cook until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Serve with vanilla glaze.

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

½ Tbsp. milk

½ tsp. vanilla extract

assorted sprinkles

Mix milk, extract and powdered sugar until glaze forms. You may need to add a little more sugar or water/milk to reach desired consistency. Mix into glaze and drizzle on pancakes
