THIN MINT® CHOCOLATE CAKE POPS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.
- Stir sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add 1 cup milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until batter is smooth. Stir in boiling water. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool until easily handled, at least 30 minutes.
- Crumble cake into a bowl; mix in crushed cookies. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until cake mixture sticks together. Shape into balls. Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap; arrange cake balls on the sheet and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Melt 1/2 cup chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Dip the tip of each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and insert halfway into a cake ball. Arrange cake pops upside-down on the baking sheet; freeze until chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
- Melt the remaining chocolate coating in a deep microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Dip each cake pop entirely into the melted chocolate; tap lightly on the side of the bowl to shake off excess chocolate. Repeat with the remaining cake pops. Stick upright into a foam board until set, at least 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Line a square 8" baking pan with aluminum foil, letting an inch of foil overhang the sides. In a bowl set over barely simmering water or in a microwave oven, heat semisweet chocolate until half the chips are melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely melted and smooth. Spread half the semisweet chocolate evenly in bottom of pan. Refrigerate 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat white-chocolate chips until half-melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely melted. Stir in peppermint oil and food coloring until blended. Spread over cooled chocolate. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until firm. Reheat remaining semisweet chocolate if necessary. Spread over cooled white-chocolate layer. Refrigerate until solid. Lift dessert from pan and transfer to cutting board. Peel away foil. With a heavy sharp knife, cut into sixteen 2-inch squares, then cut squares into triangles.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cake pops.
- Make sure your cake is completely cooled before you start making the pops. Otherwise, they will be too soft and difficult to handle.
- Use a food processor to crumb the cake. This is the easiest and most efficient way to do it.
- Add just enough frosting to the cake crumbs to make them hold together. You don't want the pops to be too wet or sticky.
- Chill the cake pops for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.
- Use a variety of toppings to decorate your cake pops. This will make them more visually appealing and fun to eat.
