Our talented food styling team created these adorable cookie pops for the reptile lover in your family. They're easier to make than you think and use everyday ingredients. Ingredients:
12 circus peanut candies |
14 lollipop sticks |
1 package (14 ounces) green wilton candy melts |
12 nutter butter cookies |
24 miniature semisweet chocolate chips (about 1/2 teaspoon) |
24 semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 tablespoon) |
1/3 cup white baking chips, melted |
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted |
Directions:
1. Cut a slit in each circus peanut, forming a mouth. Using two lollipop sticks, prop mouths open. Let stand for 30 minutes.
2. In a microwave, melt candy melts; stir until smooth. Twist apart cookies. Dip the end of a lollipop stick into melted coating and place on a cookie half; replace cookie top. Repeat. Place pops on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.
3. Meanwhile, dip a circus peanut in coating and allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining circus peanuts; let stand until set.
4. Reheat candy melts if necessary; dip a cookie pop in coating and allow excess to drip off. Insert stick into a styrofoam block to stand. While wet, position a coated circus peanut on the cookie for a head. Repeat.
5. For eyes, attach a miniature chocolate chip to each chocolate chip using melted white chips. Attach to head using melted chocolate. Using remaining melted chocolate, pipe nostrils onto faces; pipe teeth with melted white chips. Let stand until set. Yield: 1 dozen.
