1
10 3/4 ounce loaf frozen pound cake, thawed
-
4
ounces white chocolate baking squares (with cocoa butter), chopped
-
1
16 ounce can vanilla frosting
-
1/4
teaspoon peppermint extract
-
32
small peppermint candy pillows (optional)
1. Using a serrated knife, cut cake lengthwise in half. Cut each half into eight wedges.
2. For icing: In a heavy small saucepan, cook and stir chopped white chocolate over low heat until melted. Add frosting; heat over low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in peppermint extract.
3. Insert a fork into the side of a cake piece. Holding the cake over the saucepan, spoon on enough icing to cover sides and top. Using another fork, gently push the cake piece onto a wire rack set over waxed paper. If necessary, spoon icing onto side of cake where fork was inserted. If desired, arrange two peppermint candies on each cake. Repeat with remaining cake pieces, icing, and peppermint candies. Let stand until icing sets. Makes 16 cakes.

Yummy! I made this for a sweet snack in very casual settings Christmas/New Years. Everyone who tried it LOVED it. I'd try cutting the cake into tiny, tiny (bite size almost) pieces, because coating a big chunk weighed it down on the fork. So while my version of this wasn't "pretty," it was most definitely delicious. Friends are already asking for the recipe and I will definitely make it again. Oh. This is severely rich & sweet, so have a tall glass of milk ready. :)
