Indulge in the sweet nostalgia of cotton candy with these delightful cake pops. A perfect combination of vanilla cake, cotton candy-flavored goodness, and colorful sprinkles!

Ingredients: 1 box of vanilla cake mix. Ingredients required for cake mix eggs, oil, water. 1/2 cup cotton candy-flavored baking chips. 1/2 cup vanilla frosting. 2 cups white chocolate melting wafers. Assorted colorful sprinkles. Cake pop sticks.

Instructions: Bake the vanilla cake as directed on the package. After the cake cools completely, transfer it to a large bowl and crumble it into fine crumbs. The cotton candy baking chips should be melted in 30-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl until they are smooth. Blend the vanilla frosting and melted baking chips thoroughly with the cake crumbs. Form the mixture into tiny cake balls and arrange them on a baking sheet that has been lined. After placing a cake pop stick inside each ball, freeze it for a minimum of half an hour. In a bowl safe for the microwave, melt the white chocolate wafers for 30 seconds at a time, or until smooth. Allowing the excess to drip off, dip each frozen cake pop into the melted white chocolate. Before the chocolate sets, immediately decorate with colorful sprinkles. To harden, return the decorated cake pops to the baking sheet that has been lined. Proceed with every cake pop and allow them to fully solidify. The delightful Cotton Candy Cake Pops are served and enjoyed!

Indulge in the nostalgic delight of a giant oatmeal creme pie with soft oatmeal cookies and a creamy filling. Perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings!

Ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips optional. 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional. 1/2 cup butter, softened. 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1-2 tablespoons milk.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. If desired, fold in the raisins or chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Using a large ice cream scoop or measuring cup, scoop out portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each portion. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the scoop or cup. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the creme filling, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of creme filling on the flat side of one cookie and then press the flat side of another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and creme filling. Enjoy your delicious giant oatmeal creme pies!
