My favorite part of Super Bowl Sunday is the food. I love preparing healthy gluten free Super Bowl snacks for my boys and all of their friends.
I would love to say that the cute little gluten free cake pops above were assembled by my children. However, I made them, and as you can see my cake and candy decorating skills are on par with those of a 10 year old. Or maybe a 6 year old. In any event, when I was a child I loved crafty little projects like candy making and such. Obviously, I haven’t had much practice since back then.
I hope you all enjoy these gluten free Super Bowl Cake pops! If you make them, please take a photo, as I would like to do a post sometime soon with all of your beautiful gluten free football cake pops.
Super Bowl Cake Pops
Ingredients
- ½ Chocolate Cake, from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, page 84
- 2 tablespoons jam
- 1½ cups chocolate chips
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips melted
Instructions
- Bake Chocolate Cake as directed on page 84 of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook
- Cool cake completely
- Once cooled, crumble ½ of cake into a large bowl, making sure there are no large pieces
- Mix raspberry fruit spread into crumbled cake, use back of a large wooden spoon to combine
- Mixture will be moist enough to roll into 1-inch balls and still hold a round shape
- After making balls, squish into an oval shape and pinch each end to make footballs
- Place footballs on a parchment paper lined plate and place in freezer for at least an hour
- Melt dark chocolate in a very small saucepan, over very low heat
- One at a time, dip about ½-inch of the tip of paper lollipop sticks into melted chocolate
- Insert the lollipop stick straight into a (football) cake ball, no more than halfway through
- Holding stick with (football) cake ball attached, dip entire cake ball into melted chocolate, until covered
- Make sure chocolate coating meets at base of lollipop stick; this helps secure cake ball to stick
- Twirl any excess chocolate coating off the cake pop so it is evenly coated
- Place lollipop stick into a styrofoam block; allow chocolate coating to dry
- Pipe white chocolate stitches onto football cake pops
- Serve your healthier, gluten-free Super Bowl Cake Pops and wow your guests!

You really are obsessed with these cake pop things. I think I could easily become obsessed, too! Gotta admit, too darn cute!
Heather @CeliacFamily says
These are so fun. When I first saw the picture, I thought they must be almonds! Appropriate for your site, but a little difficult to get a stick into them. Cake pops sound even better. :)

Love them! And thank you for posting your ‘very real’ cakeblobs =). I will most definitely make these for our SuperBowl party. My 6-year-old thinks it’s pretty cool to be GF because of fun things like this =). (obviously we are the ones modifying,but he just knows that at parties his gf food is fun and a hit…)

Okay, those are adorable! And you probably did a better job than I could’ve.
As my great-uncle used to say to my mother about her less-than-round tortillas: ‘They aren’t gonna be round when they get to your stomach, so who cares?’
