Chick cake pops are an Easter favorite at my house. They’re cute, delicious and a big hit with kids of all ages! The recipe and instructions I used originally came from Bakerella, which called for boxed cake and cream cheese frosting and the result is a lot like a truffle. However, I prefer the Oreo cookie recipe below from My Little Cupcake Pop as I find it easier to work with than the cake version. Select either recipe and let the games begin!
