With everything looking pinker than pink in blog land this week, I thought I'd contribute with these super simple and beyond adorable no-bake popsicle cookies! And I'll just add that these are courtesy of my 16 year old daughter who is quite the expert at these kinds of things.......her mother would rather be painting, or making something healthy! Regardless it is great to have a trick like this up your sleeve when another neighbor's daughter is having an engagement party and the desert bar needs to be beyond gorgeous! Ah yes, and with Purim coming up, some of these presented with a summer theme could be an amazing mishloach manot! In fact I think that is what we'll do, just need to come up with the rest of the presentation, like summer umbrella, fruit punch, sunglasses..... stay tuned for that, in the mean time let's learn how to make these cuties!
You'll Need:
- cookies shaped like a squarish ellipse, these are with chocolate filling
- mini popsicle sticks
- dark chocolate
- oblong sprinkles
- parchment paper
How To:
- Cut off one end of the cookie to form a popsicle shape, cut off just enough to make a squared bottom
- Carefully insert the mini popsicle stick into the end of the cookie
- Melt your chocolate in a double boiler
- Using a small spoon and holding the cookie upright, carefully spoon a small amount of chocolate over the top of the cookie and let it drip down a bit. This make take a bit of patience and experimenting, but well worth it!
- Set down on parchment paper to harden, and quickly sprinkle with sprinkles before chocolate hardens
- Hide them from the family as they are just too adorable to resist!
