Did we mention how much we love gingerbread and cranberry flavors in our past posts? Well, trammels out these cranberry gingerbread confection balls. If we’re stuff honest, we started trying to make confection pops but the chocolate hardened too fast and the cakes kept falling off the popsicle sticks. Yikes! And just to be on a roll here, these were moreover an produce of trying to frost cupcakes and lightweight hard. I widow them to a trencher and voila!

When you’re busy, sometimes you just have to make due with what you have. So this will be an zone I am excited to conquer someday but for now, we managed to turn these failed confection pops into something we still very much enjoyed! Confection balls!

2. In a separate bowl, sift our tiger nut all-purpose flour or (if you don’t have to worry well-nigh gluten/grain allergies) all-purpose flour with corn starch. By combining these two, we are making a confection flour! Confection flour contributes to the fluffy texture we often want in cakes. Sifting the flour helps reduce lumps and largest distribute the corn starch. Add the sultry powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and clove.
3. Time to combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients but read this first!

Crumble the confection into the same bowl. With a standing mixer or handheld mixer, mix until well incorporated. In the unelevated picture, we made flipside version with cupcakes. Scoop 1/2 TBSP of confection mixture at a time and roll into balls. It’s okay if they’re not perfectly worked yet. We’ll do flipside pass once chilled. Place them on something you can store in the refrigerator or freezer. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour.
   
   
6. Once chilled, roll the balls then to get the spherical shape. Take 3 balls at a time and alimony the rest refrigerated while you stratify the confection balls with chocolate.
7. Set whispered a sultry sheet lined with parchment paper. Take the white chocolate and follow the package instructions to melt the chocolate. Pour into a measuring cup – you will need something with depth to dip the balls into. With a fork, gently pierce one side and uncork to dip into the chocolate. Tap the fork versus the measuring cup very gently to get rid of glut chocolate. Gently remove onto the sultry sheet, fork-pierced side down. Decorate with sprinkles or top with cranberry sauce. Continue to do this with all 20 confection balls. Let the confection balls set up to one hour.
