- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Prep Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Servings: 10 pops
Ingredients:
- 20 cookies (of your choice)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cookies:
- Spread peanut butter onto the flat side of the cookies.
-
Assemble the Pops:
- Place an ice cream stick into the peanut butter on half of the cookies.
- Top with another cookie so the stick is sandwiched between the two cookies.
-
Melt the Chocolate:
- Melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler for best results. If you don’t have one, you can use a heatproof bowl suspended over a pot of simmering water. Stir often until melted and smooth.
-
Coat the Cookie Pops:
- Dip each cookie pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely covered.
- Roll the pops in red and green sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm.
- Lay or stand the pops on waxed paper or paper plates.
-
Chill and Decorate:
- Place the coated pops in the refrigerator to chill until the chocolate sets.
Variations:
- Snowmen: Use licorice whip to create headbands and position two regular-sized M&M candies as ear muffs. Decorate with black and orange gel for eyes, mouth, and nose respectively. Wrap a fruit roll-up around the bottom of the cookie at the stick for added flair.
- Santa: Dip the top of the pop into red sprinkles to create Santa’s hat. Decorate with white icing for the beard and black gel for the eyes. Add a little extra holiday cheer with a white icing brim.
- Holly: Position two red mini M&M candies off-center in the chocolate to resemble holly berries. Once cooled, use green decorator gel to draw holly leaves around them.
These Winter Cookie Pops are not only delicious but also a fun activity for the whole family. Get creative and make your own variations to suit any occasion or holiday celebration!
