Happy April Fool’s Day! 

We love playing silly pranks on each other for April Fool’s so this year I made everyone’s favorite treat: cake pops! But instead of rich and delicious cake and frosting, I dipped Brussels sprouts and coated them with melted chocolate and sprinkles! Ashton and Stella tried them and thought it was hilarious but Ava was too smart and figured it out! 
 
Check out the instructions below and enjoy! 
The many reactions of Ashton! Yes, he did eat it all! 
Are they cake pops or Brussel sprouts?!

Brussels Sprouts Cake Pops

Ingredients

  • 12 XL Brussel Sprouts bottoms trimmed
  • 1 cup white vanilla flavored candy melts
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  • Wash large Brussels sprouts, dry, then peel off any loose leaves.
  • Add candy melts to a medium bowl and chocolate chips in a separate medium bowl.
  • Melt each for 30 seconds in the microwave at 50% power, stir, then repeat until each is melted.
  • Cut a slit in the bottom of each sprout then push in a cake pop stick.
  • Once all sprouts are on sticks, dip and twirl each in either melted white candy melts or melted chocolate chips. Make sure to cover all the sprouts completely.
  • Tap gently to remove any excess chocolate.
  • Top with sprinkles then place on a rack to dry.
  • Serve your "cake pops" for a fun April Fool's Day prank!

    This is too funny! I don’t think I’d make them for my husband and kids, but I would 100% make these to bring to the break room at work.

    This is too funny! I saw this and contemplated doing it, but I didn’t have time. I think my kids would be so mad, so maybe it’s good I didn’t attempt it!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
