If you are looking for a fun and easy
recipe to do with the kids, try these deliciously simple Valentine Cookie
Pops. The kids will smile and giggle while making these treats, and will
have something fun to give to family, friends, and classmates!
You will need:
20 vanilla wafer cookies
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 6-ounce bag white chocolate chips
1 6-ounce bag semi sweet chocolate chips
colored candy sprinkles, red & white
pink and red gummy or sour patch bears
Cake decorating writer gel in green, pink, red, black, and white
1 tube each of white, red, and pink cake decorator frosting with flower
tip
red food coloring
ice cream or lollipop sticks
wax paper or paper plates
Instructions:
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 in the microwave, one minute, then in 20 second increments,
stirring until smooth. Before melting, seperate the white chips into two
bowls. After melting, add a few drops of red food coloring to one of the
bowls of white chips to make pink chocolate.
Dip cookie pops in the melted chips,
covering completely. Roll pops in red and white sprinkles and lay or stand
on waxed paper or paper plates. Place in refrigerator to chill.
Fun Variations
Drizzles
Alternating between white chocolate, pink chocolate and semi sweet, drizzle
melted chocolate over the cookie to create a cool look!
Writing
Write fun Valentine shorts on plain pops such as "Love" or "Hug". Add
a gummy bear.
Hearts
Use the decorator gel to draw on hearts and hearts with arrows.
Flowers
Using the flower tip, pipe on pink flowers with cake decorator icing. Use
green gel to add stems and leaves to the bouquet.
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.
