Food-wise, you can't always be good, and always choose the dutiful kale option over the delicious buttery bread (well, the choices aren't usually so clear-cut as that!).

I've been eating for energy and health lately, but today is different. I have been obsessing over cake pops...those little lollipop-like pieces of cake on a stick. They look like just the right size for an afternoon pick-me-up.

I am going to try to make them today. I'm using a boxed cake mix, baking it and letting it cool. Then I'm adding some canned frosting to pieces of cake, and mixing them together until they form a round-ish shape that sticks. Next step: dipping them into a melted chocolate coating. If all looks good, I might add some shaved coconut or little colorful candy sprinkles. It's all going on a skewer, since I don't have any sticks handy, and this snack is of- this -moment- can't -wait -another -second to try it.

And because of the size, I'm thinking this is a great little treat. I'll probably have to adjust the mix of cake to frosting, but you get the idea. Of course, if they're just too delicious, I may sample more than one.
