4. King Cake Balls

Like king cake, only in ball form. Fans of the cakepop will appreciate this tiny tribute to Mardi Gras’ most famous edible offering. Covered in –what else — purple, yellow and green sprinkles, king cake balls will melt in your mouth, leaving your hand jealous. There are actually variations on this heavenly dessert that coat the balls in white, purple, yellow and green icing as well. Either way, it’s a meal fit for a king, even if the name does make you chuckle.
