directions
- Spread peanut butter onto the flat side of the cookies.
- Place an ice cream stick into the peanut butter on half the cookies.
- Top with another cookie so the stick is sandwiched between the two cookies.
- Melt chocolate chips.
- The best method is using a double boiler.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a heat proof bowl which is large enough to be suspended over a pot without its bottom touching the simmering water.
- Simmer the water over low heat and stir the chocolate often.
- Remove from the heat as soon as the chocolate is melted and stir until smooth.
- Dip cookie pops in the melted chips, covering completely.
- Roll pops in red and green sprinkles and lay or stand on waxed paper or paper plates.
- Place in refrigerator to chill.
- Variations: You can make flags, faces, hearts-- here are a few suggestions Snowmen-- Using a licorice whip, while chocolate is still warm on pop, form headband and position two regular sized M&M candies as ear muffs.
- Lie pop flat on waxed paper and let cool.
- When cool, use black decorator gel for eyes and mouth and orange for the nose.
- Gently wrap a fruit roll up around the bottom of the cookie at the stick.
- Santa-- While chocolate is still warm, dip top of pop into red sprinkles for Santa's hat.
- Lie flat on waxed paper and let cool.
- When cool, dot top of hat with white decorator icing using flower tip.
- Use flower tip and white icing to add his beard and line the brim of his hat.

Not only were these fun to make and adorable...they tasted great too!! I had a little problem with the cookies not wanting to stick together when I dipped them in the chocolate (I don't think I pressed them together hard enough), so I ended up spooning the chocolate over the pops instead. I made these for my department at work for halloween. I drew ghost faces w/decorator gel, then I covered each ghost pop with a long flowing sheet (of parchment paper). The decorator gel bled on the the paper a little, but it was still cute!!! Thanks for posting this fun recipe!!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
