In The Garden Fruit and Cookie Pops

Cookies and fruit are a tasty treat combination, whether for family or a special event. Putting them on sticks makes them extra-special. They're so easy to make at home...a variety of metal cutters simplifies things. Here we've chosen a garden theme with flowers and insects galore, but any other themed cutters are equally fun!

Each pop serves 1.

Step 1: Bake The Cookies

Make Roll-Out Cookie dough. Roll out 1/8 in. thick; cut bug cookies. Bake following recipe instructions and cool completely.

Step 2: Decorate the Cookies

Decorate bug cookie accents with Candy Pens; let set. Attach lollipop sticks to backs of cookies using melted Candy Melts candy; let set.

Step 3: Prepare the Fruit Pops

Wash or peel fresh fruits; dry completely. Cut large fruits (pineapple, melons, etc.) into 1 in. thick slices; cut slices with shaped cutters. Skewer fruit cut-outs on lollipop sticks. Skewer smaller fruits (strawberries, grapes, orange segments, dried fruit) on lollipop sticks; dip completely or partially into melted Candy Melts candy. If desired, drizzle with contrasting Candy Melts candy or sprinkle with colored sugars or sprinkles.

Step 4: Arrange Pops

Cut craft foam to fit inside container; wrap with Fanci-Foil wrap. Place wrapped foam into container. Insert pops into container. Tint coconut green; sprinkle into top of the pops container.
