Christmas tree pops are cute, easy to grab and delicious! They're so easy to make, they make the perfect treat for a holiday gathering.

Ingredients

• 6 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package Oreo cool mint creme cookies, finely crushed (about 4 cups)
• 12 ounce Baker's white chocolate, melted
• 6 drops green food coloring
• 3 tablespoons green and/or white decorating icings
• 40 cinnamon red hot candies

Preparation

Step 1

Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended.

Shape into 40 (1-inch) balls. Mix melted chocolate and food coloring until blended. Dip 1 lollipop stick in melted chocolate, then insert chocolate-dipped end into center of 1 cookie ball. Place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cookie balls. Freeze 10 minutes.

Dip balls in remaining chocolate; return to baking sheet. Decorate with decorating icing and candies as shown in photo. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate coating is firm.

NOTE:
If you freeze the Oreo balls for a little bit you will have an easier time coating them in the chocolate.
