Oreo & Nutella Cakepops

Making cake pops is such a fun.....crumbling, kneading, rolling,dipping and setting I just enjoyed every bit of the process....more so because I used all my favourite ingredients to make these adorable looking bite sized cakes dipped in silky smooth chocolate. If you have a sweet tooth you will enjoy these cakesicles as much as I did.

Ingredients:

• 150 gms Oreo sandwich cookies (minus 2 cookies, because I ate those :p )
• 130 gms pack Britania chocolate cake ( if you are making your own cake follow my eggless chocolate cake recipe
• 100 gms Nutella (for more recipes from Nutella click on these links Nutella Fantasy No bake cookies, Gary-the snail)
• Few drops of vanilla extract
• 50 gms melted white/dark chocolate (approx)
• Candy Sticks
• Sugar Sprinkles
  

Directions

• Break the cookies into two pieces ( And trust me, It is not at all a crime if you accidentally lick the cream from one or two cookies)
• Add the cookies into a food processor and pulse until there are no large chunks of cookies left.
• Pour the crumbs into a big mixing bowl.
• Next crumble your cake using your hands.
• Now add crumbled cake, nutella and vanilla extract and mix it all together using your hands until fully incorporated.
• Add a spoon of milk if required, basically you should be able to roll the dough into a ball easily.
• Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
• Divide the dough into 10 equal parts and roll into smooth crack free balls.
• Cover a baking tray with a parchment paper/ baking sheet and place the cake balls on it.
• Wrap
•  the tray with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.( it should be enough so you can submerge the cake balls easily into the melted chocolate)
• Dip one end of the candy stick into the melted chocolate and insert carefully into the cake balls.
• Put the cake balls in refrigerator for 15- 20 minutes to set.
• Dip cake balls carefully into the chocolate until covered.
• Swirl and gently tap the balls so the excess chocolate drip off. 
• Decorate the pops with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. It will harden quickly.
• Put the pops back into refrigerator to set.
• You can further decorate your cake pops with ribbons and some other fancy stuff or just enjoy them like this only. :)
