Anyone with a sweet tooth will go hog wild for these candy-coated pigs. My mother-in-law and I made the cute, cookie pops for a bake sale.Lorri Reinhardt, Big Bend, Wisconsin Ingredients:
16 large pink and/or white marshmallows |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 packages (10 to 12 ounces each) white baking chips |
2 tablespoons shortening |
3 to 4 drops red food coloring, optional |
32 double-stuffed oreo cookies |
32 popsicle sticks or craft sticks |
64 miniature semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 tablespoon) |
64 m&m's® brand mini chocolate candies (about 2 tablespoons) |
Directions:
1. Cut marshmallows into thirds horizontally; cut the center portion of each into four wedges for ears. Roll cut sides of ears in sugar to prevent sticking together. Set ears and remaining portions aside.
2. In a microwave, melt baking chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Stir in food coloring if desired.
3. Twist apart sandwich cookies. Dip the end of a Popsicle stick into melted baking chip mixture and place on a cookie half; replace cookie top. Repeat. Place pops on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.
4. Reheat baking chip mixture if necessary; dip a pop in mixture and allow excess to drip off. Return to waxed paper-lined baking sheet. While wet, position a marshmallow slice on the cookie for a snout. Add ears on top edge of cookie; hold for a few seconds or until set. Add chocolate chip eyes. Place two baking bits on snout, securing with a dab of baking chip mixture. Repeat. Let stand until set. Yield: 32 pops.
