Golden Snitch Cake Pops
If you know me in real life, you know I’m a HUGE fan of Harry Potter. Some might call it obsessed, but I don’t think I take it that far… I do get very excited when the new movies come out in the theatre or on DVD. Earlier in the year, when Deathly Hallows Part I came out on DVD, I think we watched it three times that first weekend.
Btw, did anyone else watch the Harry Potter weekend on ABC Family this weekend? They showed a couple scenes from the new movie! Hubby claims that he’s just along for the ride, but I think he enjoys HP almost as much as I do. If only I could convince him that we need to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter… Maybe next year.
Now that you all fully appreciate my love of all things Harry Potter, let’s get on to the treats. I am usually able to wrangle a few of my friends to tag along to the midnight showing of the movies when they come out. I bribe them with the promise of treats and it usually works. I decided to use up some frozen cupcake pieces from my freezer (I save the cones from cupcakes when I use the cone method) and make some cake pops.
I used some leftover chocolate cream cheese frosting that I had in the fridge to bind the balls together. Then I used yellow Wilton candy melts to dip them and make the wings for my snitches. I followed the instructions listed here for making the wings then used some melted yellow candy melts to attach them to the cake pop. Be sure to check back tomorrow for another Harry Potter treat.

OH MY GOSH – THOSE LOOK AMAZING.
Seeing those pictures again reminds me just how tasty they were. I’m all about you making another batch, they were amazing the first time!!
Haha those are good. I could inhale a whole batch myself I’m pretty sure… I just had a thought… Rerack finals? I’m adding them to my baking list 🙂
These look great! I’m sure your guests loved them

I have a whole packet of miniature marshmallows I had brought to make rocky road…however plans are just “plans” as of now…guess will try these instead.
thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe 🙂
these just look too delicious not to try. 🙂
WOW, this looks so good! I definitely have to try it…I love rice krispie treats and this looks like an awesome version.
We call these crack brownies here at our house 🙂
That’s a very good name for these!!
I made these for food day at the office and they were a huge hit. I used the 9 x 13 pan and an entire bag of mini-marshmallows. Everyone agreed they got better each day.
