Cake 'Pop' Goes the 4th!

Patriotic Pops for July 4th

Super simple, and super sweet - these special occasion 'pops' are really doughnut holes in disguise.

Ingredients:

* colored sprinkles
* white candy melts
* plain doughnut holes
* lollipop sticks (we used Wilton brand)

First step - melt a handful of candy melts according to the package directions, we used the microwave - STIR OFTEN.

Next, dip just the top of the lollipop stick into the melted candy and insert into a doughnut hole - put it aside and continue with the next one. 

TIP - You want the stick to 'set' into the doughnut hole - the candy melts will act as 'glue'.

Once all the sticks are set, melt up a larger batch of candy melts - using a deeper bowl that will allow you to 'dip' each pop in. Final steps - dip each pop into the melted candy coating and the cover with your favorite sprinkle confection.

Set your pops aside to dry/firm up - we used a piece of white craft Styrofoam to hold them up and keep them from touching while they dry.


Finishing touches - cellophane bag and some matching ribbon - perfect for party favors. 

Special thanks to my crafty sis for sharing her Patriotic Pops with Mom's Lifesavers!
