Recipe Introduction

Something on a Stick Day celebrates things on a stick. Isn't this just a neat day? We thought you'd agree. So what comes on a stick? Practically anything. The first thing that comes to mind is popsicles and fudgecicles. Hotdogs are poplar on a stick at campfires. There's also corndogs, and shrimp and many Chinese treats. Cocktail wieners and cheese are picked and eaten on a stick(a toothpick). You can also get just about anything on a stick when receiving food samples at a store or festival. Celebrate this fun day by serving food for meals and snacks on a stick. The kids will love it. So will you! BTW: We are glad that today is Something on a Stick Day and not "Something on a Shingle Day! Holiday Insights

List of Ingredients

HOME COOKIN’ 03/28/2011 National Something On A Stick Day Coconut Bliss Pops



Coconut Bliss Pops


1 large package sweetened coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 large package strawberry Jell-O
1/2 teaspoon almond extract



Recipe


Put all ingredients into a large bowl -- add Jell-O last and do not add all at once.

You may not need all of the Jell-O package.

Mix together.

Form into balls.

You can use any flavor of Jell-O that you like.

They really are quite striking in appearance and color.

If you want to put them on sucker sticks, set the coconut balls in the open and let them dry for about an hour and then insert stick.

If you are having a problem with drooping coconut balls, dip stick in melted candy melts and then insert in ball and put in fridge for a few minutes.

They are best if eaten within about 24 hours or so; they dry and harden in a few days.
