When the lovely Chiabia team approached me to create a Christmas theme treats, I was delighted. It was my husband's idea of making these cake pops. It fun, it is tasty and so so healthy. Only organic, wholesome ingredients used and guess what they are refined sugar free, gluten free, diary free and vegan. Told ya only the good stuff ;)

This can be made it two ways, shape them into balls and dip them in silky smooth melted dark chocolate and enjoy them as truffles, or add them to cake pop sticks and kids would love it, if you are a grown up kid like me then just go ahead and enjoy them in the form of cake pops. ;)

While inserting the cake pop sticks, it can be a bit challenging, as the mixture is not a regular cake mixture, might be difficult for it to hold on to the sticks, don't worry be patient and place them upside down on the plate or a lined tray and pop it into the refrigerator for couple of hours until set. Apologies for the dull picture below, I have bad lighting in the kitchen, just wanted to show you all :)
