Just wondering…do you live in or near the Twin Cities? If so…you will see THESE treats featured on TELEVISION fairly soon.
To be more specific, I will be making these on t.v. very soon.
As in today (October 19th) at 3 p.m. CST!
Along with John and Elizabeth from Twin Cities Live…
Slightly nervous?
It’s just live t.v. afterall…
Until I slip, fall and spill Candiquik everywhere, or say something that sounds completely idiotic.
Hey, you think about these things when you’re going to be on t.v. I do anyways.
So in the case that I run off the set before these get made…I thought I would share them here first, Eyeball Cake Balls!
Just kidding. I’m completely confident that everything will go smooth. Kinda. Sorta.
Wish me luck & I’ll be posting the link to the Twin Cities Live episode soon so you can all see!
UPDATE: HERE IS THE LINK TO THE TWIN CITIES LIVE EPISODE
In the mean time…spooky treats.
Ingredients:
(yields approx. 40 cake balls)
1 box cake mix (plus ingredients required for cake)
8 oz. cake frosting
2 (16 oz.) packages Vanilla CANDIQUIK Coating
Life Savers Gummy Savers
Mini M&M candies
Red cake writing icing
Directions:
1. Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on box; cool completely.
2. Crumble cake into a large bowl. Add frosting and mix thoroughly.
3. Roll mixture into 1″ sized balls. Chill for approximately 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
4. Melt CANDIQUIK according to directions on package.
5. Dip cake balls in CANDIQUIK and place on wax paper. Before dry, press 1 gummy saver candy in the center of each cake ball. Place a mini M&M in the middle of the gummy saver.
6. Once completely set, use cake writing icing to pipe red lines on the sides of the cake ball.
TIP: If cake bites become too soft or are not holding their shape while being dipped, place back in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Those are so fun! I’m sure you’ll do great, I wish I could see it. My husband and I do local tv programs for the cable co, and the times ppl mess up are the most fun/interesting. So I don’t think you need to be concerned about that. It makes it “real” and enjoyable! Have fun and enjoy yourself! Best wishes!

I have a question…if you are not putting them on a stick…how do you dip them. Sorry this is my first time! Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Sharon, I drop each cake ball directly in the tray of CandiQuik, then using a spoon, I pour the coating over the cake ball and then carefully scoop the cake ball out (let the excess coating drip off) and place on wax paper. Hope this clears it up – much easier than cake pops
