Jenny Craig Recipe Creation: Peppermint Cake Pops

Special thanks to Jenny Craig for their sponsorship of this post.

Happy Holidays, my dears!

I hope you are finding moments to enjoy this holiday season.  Yes, it’s been a tricky year… but maybe it has taught us something beautiful.

As I celebrate my “merry little Christmas” in the days ahead, I was inspired to create a peppermint cake pop dish to enjoy.  Who doesn’t enjoy chocolate + mint afterall?

Also, after just sharing the Minty Morning Whipped Coffee recipe, I’m hopeful you have some mint extract in your cupboard that you can use here.

Enjoy!

Note:  You will need 2 cake pop sticks for this recipe.  Here’s a link to the ones I ordered.

A fun twist on the Chocolate Lava Cake, this holiday dessert is perfect for Santa's cookie plate (or for mom on a cold winter's night.)

Ingredients

• 1 Jenny Craig Chocolate Lava Cake
• 2-3 drops mint extract, like Watkins
• crushed candy mini candy cane, for garnish

Instructions

• Prepare Jenny Craig Chocolate Lava Cake according to package instructions. 
• Scoop out as much of the melted chocolate as possible, and place it in a small microwave-safe bowl. Place bowl in the refrigerator.
• In separate bowl, crumble the cake and mix in mint extract. Roll into two balls using your hands.
• Insert a cake pop stick into each ball, and place them in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Once the cake pops have firmed up, remove them from the freezer.
• Place the molten chocolate in the microwave for 5-second increments, stirring until smooth.
• Dip and swirl your cake pops in the chocolate to coat. Coat with some of the crushed candy cane pieces (to your preference), and place in a small vase or styrofoam block to dry.
