Raw Chocolate Cake Pops

October 5, 2012 by Cara

Raw Chocolate Cake Pops - Fork & Beans

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)

    Hi Cara, I just found your blog through Pinterest and am captivated by your story and your Halloween decor. Only a fellow Halloween geek could possibly appreciate it! Your recipes look delicious! It’s always exciting to find a blog I know I’ll love reading more than once. 🙂

    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.

    So spooky and so yummy looking! I love the eyes! I like how you showed a picture of them before they were covered in chocolate. I can see these being a real hit at a Halloween party!

    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.

    October 5, 2012 at 3:57 pm

    OK YOU Cara are freakin’ amazing! How do you do it? Seriously I want to tuck you into my back pocket and take you everywhere so you can make yummy sweet raw treats for me 🙂

    Oh guuurrl, no you di in’t! This is too much! Those little sunflower eyes might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I don’t want to eat them, I want to name them. =)
