Cake pops for Grownups (Dark Chocolate Rum Balls)
Tidbits...All of the sugary candy coated cake pops that I have tried do not suit my taste. These pops are designed with grownups in mind. I love the luscious bite-size liquor laced balls when dipped in bitter good quality dark chocolate or white chocolate.
