Tips and Tricks
Size Wise:Take the time to savor the flavor of this special treat that can be included in a balanced diet on occasion.
How to Store:Keep cookie pops refrigerated.
Variation:Prepare cream cheese mixture, shape into balls and insert lollipop sticks into balls as directed; freeze 10 min. Dip half of each cookie ball into melted black candy coating, then dip other half into melted white candy coating. Decorate the white-coated halves with dark silver or black sprinkles, then dip the black-dipped halves with silver or white sprinkles.
Variation:Prepare using semi-sweet and white baking chocolates instead of the melted candy coating wafers.
Note:If coating becomes too thick to coat the cookie balls, add up to 2 tsp. shortening to the melted candy coating wafers before using as directed.
