These were the easiest cake pops I’ve ever made. Can we call these cake pops even though they don’t contain cake? Lets. Let me start off by mentioning that I despise peppermint. Does that even make sense? These are Oreo Peppermint Cake? Pops after all. Well, a couple of years ago my mom went to Starbucks and bought a couple of chocolate peppermint cake pops. I was pretty annoyed at first with her but after taking one bite I instantly loved them.
I had to recreate them asap. These are so delicious. Probably my all-time favorite. If you aren’t a peppermint fan, although you probably are since you did click on the recipe, you will love these. You will love these regardless if you like peppermint or not. I’m that confident. Well, I just hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
