I am having hauntingly delicious daydreams of these Raw Cake Pops, my most frightful friends. It was a most spooktacular moment, when from out of the food processor, I took a scoop of this dough with my finger to taste it. It was un-BOO-lievable.
How is it possible that this could actually taste like a moist chocolate cake? My eyes bulged out of my skull and I shrieked with sheer excitement. It’s alive! It’s aallllliiiiiiiveeeeeee! (with flavor and texture)

[...] SnarkyVegan inspired the Cat to make balls. (If you don’t know her, get to know her now because she’s a hilarious food blogger who writes all her posts as steamy scenes in an ongoing story.) She also listed all the VeganMoFoers who have created their own balls, including my favorite because it has ears, Raw Black Cat Cake Pops. [...]

Aah! I love all of your puns and cuteness, especially this line: “It’s alive! It’s aallllliiiiiiiveeeeeee! (with flavor and texture)” Why don’t we live in the same city, so that I can hang out with you all the time, laugh at your jokes, and eat your incredible yumminess? Life is so unfair.

Oh I SO wish I could eat nuts. These look amazing!!! I may have to make them for the family anyway. Perhaps I can just sniff them instead.
I love the use of sunflower seeds for eyes. 10/10 for cute factor.

Do you have a first cousin named ALF? Also, what is this strange thing you have for decapitation??? Headless black cats make really poor familiars. You’d spend much less time training them if you thought first, before eating their brains. Seriously girl, get a grip.
