You will need
(To make approximately 30)
30 Chocolate cake pops on sticks
1 bag chocolate Candy Melts
150g approx Renshaw Ready to Roll icing in a suitable shade of brown/ tan
Chocolate chips
30 peanut butter / tan candy melts if you can get them
I made these in two stages. I made my decorations, eyes, ears, mouths etc one evening whilst bored and then made the cake pops the next day. You could make them all the same day easy. They don't take tool long once you get the hang of it.
Make small ears using the Renshaw icing. I used the tip of a teaspoon to get the basic ear like shape then I just smoothed it round the edges and used the tip of the teaspoon again to make an ident in the ear. Make enough pairs so that you will have enough for however many cake pops you are making.
Next create small balls of icing and squash to create a flat round for your eyes. You can either use melted chocolate, brown or black paint or food marker pen or chocolate chips for the centre of your eyes. I used chocolate chips.
Now all that's left to make are the mouths. If you were lucky enough to be able to find some peanut candy melts then use either paint or marker pen or some melted chocolate in a bag to draw on a cheeky smile and some nostrils. If you like me couldn't get hold of any tan candy melts then you can use the ready to roll icing. I covered a chocolate candy melt with the ready to roll icing as this gave a nice shape. The. I drizzled the nose and lips on with chocolate.
Once you have these components made dip your cake into the melted chocolate candy melts and then place on your features.
These really are quite simple and great fun!!!
