Celebrate with cake! Chocolate Raspberry Cake Bites to be exact! They are like cake pops without the sticks and with a healthy twist.
I’ve been celebrating a lot lately. My sister’s birthday, Father’s Day, and my birthday all within a few days of each other. Let’s celebrate with CAKE! .. Cake Bites to be exact.
This recipe idea came to me as I was waiting in line at Starbucks and was looking at the cake pops in the glass case. I wonder who first created the cake pop? It’s such a clever idea, but I always found them way too sweet. Cake plus overload on frosting blended into the cake to make the cake pop shape. I was curious if it would work with yogurt. Guess what – it did! (or I wouldn’t have posted this recipe)
I know my typical dessert combo is chocolate and peanut butter (like here, here, and here), but I also love the chocolate raspberry combination. Okay, let’s be real.. chocolate and anything. Hi my name is Julie and I’m a chocoholic.
