The first step is admitting you have no time

So I have to admit that in hindsight I was perhaps too ambitious to think I could make holiday cake pops for Christmas, especially since it's only four days away and I have nothing, no ingredients,no lollipop sticks and no room in the freezer. The more and more I look at my recipe options for these cute confections on a stick, I find that even the short cuts seem like a long road to sugar heaven.

Thus, I've been exploring alternatives and think it's more likely I'll end up making these:

Pignoli Cookies
Extremely delicious, equally sugary,
almost as delightful to look at

But, to be truly honest (to myself, mainly) I may end up contributing these for dessert:

Clementines
Extremely delicious, not always equally sugary, somewhat delightful to look at

It's the thought that counts, right....
