Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you’re enjoying the last leg of Summer months as we gear up for the littles going to back school.

Remember the back-to-school series we had on the blog in July? The cupcakes and Rice Krispies treats turned out to be so much fun, I am excited to add these apple core cookie pops to the list!

How to Make Apple Core Back-to-School Cookie Pops

To make these adorable Apple Core Back-to-School Cookie Pops, you'll need nutter butter cookies, candy melts and green lollipop sticks.

Ingredients/Materials

  • Nutter Butters
  • Wilton white candy melts
  • Wilton red candy melts
  • Wilton light cocoa candy melts
  • Wilton light green candy melts (small size)
  • Green lollipop sticks
  • Parchment paper
  • Decorating bag

Instructions

Back-to-school Apple Core Cookie Pops for an easy and kid-friendly food craft. They're fun and tasty and perfect for Fall or back-to-school parties.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat 2 cups of the white candy melts on 50% power for 3 to 4 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

Open a Nutter Butter cookie and gently press a green lollipop stick onto the frosting side with about 1/2-inch sticking out on top of cookie. Add a dollop of melted white candy to secure the stick.

Carefully place the Nutter Butters cookies back together to form a sandwich with the green stick in the middle. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 4 to 5 minutes.

Holding onto the lollipop stick, position cookie pop over the melted white chocolate and with a spoon, coat the center. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off and place the coated cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for another 4 to 5 minutes.

If the candy melts need reheating, microwave on 40% power at 10-second intervals, stirring in between intervals until smooth.

Adding the red apple to the cookie pop.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat 2 cups of the red candy melts on 50% power for 3 to 4 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

Holding onto the lollipop stick,  position cookie pop over the melted white chocolate and with a spoon, coat the top and bottom. Let any excess red chocolate to drip off.

    I can’t even handle how adorable these are! I’m one of those mom’s that is so overwhelmed by having tiny babies as well as older kids in school that I usually look at these and dream about the day when I’ll have enough time. These are so ridiculously fun though, I want to make them for my oldest daughter’s first day of school next week!
