Happy April Fool’s Day!
We love playing silly pranks on each other for April Fool’s so this year I made everyone’s favorite treat: cake pops! But instead of rich and delicious cake and frosting, I dipped Brussels sprouts and coated them with melted chocolate and sprinkles! Ashton and Stella tried them and thought it was hilarious but Ava was too smart and figured it out!
Check out the instructions below and enjoy!
The many reactions of Ashton! Yes, he did eat it all!
Are they cake pops or Brussel sprouts?!

I enjoy brussel sprouts. Not sure I am keen on them covered in sugar though 🙈

OMG! This is so cruel. Hahaha! I can just imagine the reaction of the victim. Keeping this in mind. Thank you for sharing your funny idea.
I’ll be doing this tonight with my kiddo!
This is a fun prank to pull on the kids.
This is too funny! I don’t think I’d make them for my husband and kids, but I would 100% make these to bring to the break room at work.
My kids love Brussels sprouts so this might not work for them. Haha
Mine too but these are raw and coated in chocolate. Haha!
This is too funny! I saw this and contemplated doing it, but I didn’t have time. I think my kids would be so mad, so maybe it’s good I didn’t attempt it!
Wow! These cake pops look so yummy. Plus with so many unique designs from each pop, can be easily a favorite in the making. Loved it!
