We completely reinvented our cake pops, from the inside out. They are now made with a peanut butter apple cake with a densely chewy texture (not crunchy). Then, we replaced the cookie sticks (we loved them, but they just broke a bit too much), with colorful paper straws. Just unwrap the pop, and hold it out for the dog to bite, as soon as they do, just pull the straw out. Super simple!
