    Recipe Introduction


    If you are looking for a fun and easy recipe to do with the kids, try these deliciously simple St. Patrick's Day Cookie Pops. The kids will smile and giggle while making these treats, and will have something fun to give to family, friends, and classmates

    List of Ingredients




    20 vanilla wafer cookies
    1/2 cup peanut butter
    1 12-ounce bag white chocolate chips
    green and yellow gumdrops
    green Dotscandies
    green and yellow Nerd® candies
    cake decorating writer gel in green, yellow, red, orange, and black
    1 tube of green cake decorator frosting with tip
    green and yellow decorator sugar
    green food coloring
    ice cream or lollipop sticks
    wax paper or paper plates

    Recipe



    Spread peanut butter onto the flat side of the cookies. Place an ice cream stick into the peanut butter on half the cookies. Top with another cookie so the stick is sandwiched between the two cookies.
    Melt chocolate chips (follow links for directions and tips for working with chocolate). Before melting, seperate the white chips into two bowls. After melting, add a few drops of green food coloring to one of the bowls of white chips to make green chocolate.
    Dip cookie pops in the melted chips, covering completely. Sprinkle with green and yellow sugar and lay or stand on waxed paper or paper plates. Place in refrigerator to chill.
    Fun Variations
    Leprechaun
    After coating with white chocolate, dip top of pop into green sugar. Slice two yellow gumdrops to make beard. Allow to dry on wax paper. Use black and red decorator gel for eyes and mouth, and for trim on hat.
    Rainbow with Pot of Gold
    After coating with white chocolate, cut a green Dot in half lengthwise, adhere to chocolate. Before chocolate has a chance to dry, place 3-5 yellow candy nerds "in" pot. Create a rainbow with various colored decroator gel.
    Shamrock
    After coating with white chocolate, sprinkle with yellow decorator sugar, then draw on a shamrock using green cake decorator icing.
    Four Leaf Clover
    After coating with green chocolate, use green sliced gumdrops to create clover leaves. Slice a small strip out of remaining gumdrop for stem. Use a green candy Nerd for the center of the clover
    Note: Another variation is to use vanilla or chocolate frosting instead of peanut butter for the filling. These can also be made without sticks. Use one stick to be able to dip the cookies in chocolate and roll in sprinkles, then remove the stick and put on wax paper or paper plates, then chill.
