Pint Sized Baker: Little Debbie Pumpkin Pie Cake Pops

Sunday, September 23, 2012

Little Debbie Pumpkin Pie Cake Pops


This is the LAST Giveaway for my Blog's 1 year Anniversary! 
This week, Kim from KC Bakes, has graciously donated a Mini Cake Pop Stand. Thanks, Kim!
I own three of these wonderful stands and I use them for all the cake pops that I make.
No more using Styrofoam - This stand won't fall over or get your sticks covered in green "fuzz".
I'm also including a Cake Pop Mold Kit and a Cake Pop Book.



Oops, I did it again! I took a delicious Little Debbie treat and made it into a Pop! 
First it was the Swiss Rolls, then Nutty Bars, followed by Strawberry Shortcake Rolls
AND... since it's now officially fall, here's my contribution to Pumpkin Treats all over Blog-land!  Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights made into Pops!


First, I took my cookies and crumbled them in a food processor.


Then, using a cookie scoop, I got 12 pops.


Dip the Pops in Orange candy melts and allow to dry.
Not sure how to do this... Watch my Video.

To make these cute Jack-o-Lantern faces, I used the Wilton Sugar Sheets and a fun paper punch.
Yes, the face was all in pieces, so it was a bit tedious, but I thought the end result was better than me hand piping it.



I used a toothpick to add a dot of candy and then adhered the cut out using tweezers to pick up the tiny piece and place it on the pop.

These are an easy way to make some cute Jack-o-Lantern Cake Pops. You can take it up a notch by adding some indentation on the pop with a stick prior to dipping to get the shape. Then add a chocolate chip or pretzel bit as a stem and some green shoestring licorice for a stem like THIS.


Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights Pops

by Pint Sized Baker
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients (12 lollipops)
  • Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights Cookies
  • Orange Candy Melts
  • Lollipop Sticks or Straws (I used Paper Straws)
  • Wilton Sugar Sheets (Black)
  • Jack-o-lantern Paper Punch
  • Cake Pop Stand (By KC Bakes)
Instructions
Unwrap Cookies and pulse in Food Processor until they are a fine crumble.
They will look "loose" but when you press together they will hold the shape. There is no need to add any extra frosting or binder.
Use a Cookie Scoop to measure out 12 pops and form into balls.
Place in fridge for 10 minutes.
Melt Orange Candy Melts in a glass or ceramic bowl for 30 second intervals at 70% power in the microwave. Stir between intervals until smooth. Do not allow the candy to get too hot.
Dip 1/4 inch of a lollipop stick (or straw) into the candy and then insert half way into the cookie pop.
Use your KC Bakes stand to hold the pops upright and keep the round shape.
Once all the pops are on sticks, start with the first pop and dip straight down and back up again coating the entire pop. Tap the stick to allow excess candy to drip off. Stand back up in stand.
Punch out 12 Jack-o-Lantern faces using you hole punch and Sugar Sheets.
Place a dot of candy on the pop with a toothpick and add the face details. I used tweezers to pick up the small pieces.
Serve to some great kids!

** I found the EK Success hole punch at Micheal's Craft Store, but I can't find it online to show you. I'm not sure if this was from last year's stock or not. Sorry.

  4. I love THIS cake pop design.. I tried to make Pumpkins before and to be such a simple design it's actually more difficult than you think to make the designs.

    1. What did you have problems with? I've made the pumpkin indents before and didn't have a difficult time. For these pops, I intentionally left them smooth so that the face wouldn't have an issue.

  5. How about a tutorial on cake pops that look like christmas ornaments.

  6. Gosh I love the idea of making the faces with sugar sheets! I never had thought of that. I tried making some pumpkin pops the other day and used a pretzel for the stem-- the faces would have put them over the top!

    1. Thanks, Haley! If there are short cuts to great desserts you can count me in. I've got too many other things to do. Besides, every Pumpkin recipe has been DONE! I needed something a bit different in the pumpkin department.

  47. Love these and love how creative you've been with the punch and the black edible sheets. That's cool. My favourite shape of pop has to be the ball pop. You can create anything from it really or adapt it into pretty much anything.

    I so need me that set and one of those punches. I've joined in the giveaway but I'm not located in the US but have a US forwarding address so assuming it's OK to enter?
