Snowman pops

By barbsjustagirl

Ingredients

• Want to make some? Follow the basic instructions for cake pops and use the following to decorate:
• White candy melts
• Black confetti sprinkles
• Orange sunflower seeds
• Black edible ink pen
• Regular Oreos
• Miniature Oreos
• Toothpicks
• Styrofoam block

Preparation

Step 1

* Prepare the hats first. Separate Oreos and remove the creme center. The miniature Oreos can get a lot of crumbs stuck to the side of the creme center, so take a toothpick and scrape the surface off for a white edge.
* Use some of the melted coating to attach the miniature Oreo to the regular size Oreo half and set aside.
* Dip the cake pops and while the coating is still wet, attach the sunflower seed nose and the Oreo hat and let dry.
* Then attach the confetti sprinkle eyes by dotting on a small amount of coating with a toothpick and attach the sprinkles.
* Draw the mouths with the edible ink pen and let dry standing in a styrofoam block.

And voila … Snowman Cake Pops … or Snowhead Cake Pops … nevermind.

Now these are pretty cute like I said before… they remind me of what a snowman would look if I tried to build one in the yard. Not that we ever really get that much snow here. They are more like ice men than snowmen in the south. But this weekend I was thinking about them and I decided they were a just little too generic.

So I decided to try something a little more iconic.

The hats were made by tinting white candy coating with black candy color to get a dark gray. Then the coating was poured into these candy molds.
