Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 (8 ct) boxes Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats
- 16 Popsicle sticks OR lollipop sticks OR festive paper straws
- 12 oz Wilton Bright White candy melts
- Halloween Peeps
- Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a large baking sheet with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Insert sticks: Open each Rice Krispie Treat box and remove the treats from their wrappers. Insert one popsicle stick or lollipop stick (or a paper straw cut in half) into the base of each treat carefully. Place the treats upright on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill treats: Place the prepared treats with sticks into the refrigerator for 20 minutes. This firms them up, making it easier to dip in melted candy without falling apart.
- Melt candy coating: While the treats chill, begin melting the 12 oz of Wilton Bright White candy melts according to package instructions, typically using a microwave or candy warmer.
- Dip treats: Remove the treats from the fridge one at a time and dip each treat into the melted candy melts. Use a spoon to help coat evenly if needed, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Decorate: After coating, place each dipped treat back onto the baking sheet. Decorate promptly by adding Halloween sprinkles or pressing a Halloween Peep gently into the warm candy coating before it sets.
- Set the coating: Optionally, place the decorated treats back in the refrigerator to help the candy harden faster.
- Store and serve: Serve the pops immediately once set, or store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- These pops are a super easy and budget-friendly Halloween treat that also look fantastic for parties or gifting.
- Using the fridge to firm the treats before and after dipping helps prevent breakage and ensures a smooth candy coating.
- Feel free to experiment with different candy melt colors and sprinkles to customize the pops.
- For easier stick insertion, using popsicle sticks to pre-make holes then swapping with paper straws works well.
