Today, I challenged myself to cake pops, without the sicks...cake balls?? 
Anyway, they turned out GREAT.  I used Butter Pecan cake mix, baked the
cake using margarine instead of oil, crumbed it up, added drizzles of
rum/vanilla glaze, rolled them up and dipped them into almond bark and sprinkled
them with some raw sugar for deco...YUM!!!  They were a hit!
