Tips and Tricks

Size-Wise:Enjoy these bite-size treats with built-in portion control. One cookie ball pop per serving goes a long way on flavor.
Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Ball Pops:Omit food coloring. Substitute 1 pkg. (16 oz.) NUTTER BUTTER Cookies for the OREO Cookies and semi-sweet chocolate for the white chocolate. Mix cookie crumbs, cream cheese and 1/4 cup peanut butter until blended; shape into balls. Insert lollipop sticks into balls, then continue as directed. Decorate as desired.
How to Store:Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
