Easy Chocolate Cake Pops

Recently we had a surprise baby shower for my sister-in-law and I decided to try and do something special for her cake. You may or may not have heard of cake pops but they are starting to become a rather popular concept. And I was pleased to discover that they aren't too difficult to make. I tried my hand at two different kinds of cake pops the first one being the easiest that I am going to talk about today and the second one was a bit more of a challenge that I will share on Thursday. The easy thing about this recipe is that you can use a lot of ready made products for even greater ease.

Millionaire Shortbread: Like a homemade version of a Twix candy bar

So much to my husband's delight I decided to do a dessert week and focus on pleasing that sweet tooth.  While I do occasionally love sweet things my desire for them has never been altogether that strong, while my husband Chris, would eat cake and chocolate biscuits every day if he could. So on the occasions that I decide to do some baking I love to make it worth every bite.  And being that we are back living in England I decided to do something a little more British this time. Millionaire Shortbread is a popular British shortbread that consists of three layers, shortbread, caramel and melted chocolate, it is more like a candy bar then a bar. This recipe is my mother-in-law's.
