You didn't think I was gonna show them to you that fast, did you? Today is "Apple Day" at RD's preschool and our snack day. Lucky for me, September's "Family Fun" issue had the cutest apple themed snack idea:
"Candy Apple Cookie Pops"
Nine pretzels sticks snipped into half to three-quarter inch pieces
Several green fruit chew candies, flattened (we used Jolly Rancher)
Eighteen round sandwich cookies (we used generic Oreos)
Brown mini M&Ms
Vanilla frosting
Red meltable candy wafers
Here are the supplies I grabbed from our local craft store.
My AWESOME hubby lending a hand separating the brown minis from the rest.
All the cookies awaiting dipping
PINK APPLES?!?! Remember the ingredient "red candy wafers"? Our craft store only had white and while I added red food coloring, pink was all I could get.
Here's our happy little apples waiting to be eaten!
Of course ours didn't turn out as neat as the magazine's. I can't seem to get hit the right temperature on the candy wafers. I either get it too hot and end up pitching OR not hot enough and end up spooning the coating on. But, I have to say they were pretty darn cute anyway. Pink and all!!!! We really hope the kids like them!
