We have the cutest after school snack for the kids. These Back to School Apple Pops are easy to make with only two simple ingredients – candy melts and nutter butter cookies. They look just like apple cores!

Back to School Apple Pops

We did something similar a few years ago but we wanted to evolve it for those that love peanut butter as much as we do. These back to School Apple Pops are an easy after school snack. They require only two ingredients – Nutter Butter Cookies and Wilton Candy Melts (of various colors.) Make them before the kids get home as a fun surprise or unwind one afternoon and make them with the kids. Don’t forget to bag a few and send in to school for a special teacher!

Allergy alert! These do contain peanut butter so consider making our Apple OREO Pops as an alternative.

Easy Back to School Apple Pops – 2 Simple Ingredients

Author: Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living

Ingredients

Nutter Butters
Wilton white candy melts
Wilton red candy melts
Wilton light cocoa candy melts
Wilton light green candy melts
Green lollipop sticks
Parchment paper
Decorating bag

Instructions

1. In a small microwave safe bowl, heat 2 cups of the white, 2 cups of red and 1/4 cup of brown candy melts in separate microwave safe bowls on 50% power for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to stir every 30 seconds until melted. (This evens out the temperature and prevents burning.)

2. Once melted, carefully open a Nutter Butter cookie and add a dollop of melted white chocolate and gently press a green lollipop stick onto the frosting side of the Nutter butter so the stick sticks out the top about 1/2” (for your stem) and carefully place the Nutter Butters back together.

3. Place your cookies on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and transfer to the freezer for 5 minutes.

4. After freezing, hold the lollipop sticks over the melted white chocolate and coat the center with the melted white chocolate, let any excess drip off and set back onto the parchment paper and into the freezer for another 5 minutes.

5. After freezing, hold onto the lollipop stick over the red chocolate and coat the top and bottom of the Nutter Butter with red chocolate, let any excess drip off and place onto a piece of parchment paper

6. Break a small green candy melt in half, smooth the edges with your finger and place on top of the Nutter Butter by the “stem” or green lollipop stick. Transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes.

7. In a small microwave safe bowl, heat 1/4 cup of your light cocoa candy melts on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted, pour into a decorating bag and cut a tiny tip off the end of the bag.

8. Use your decorating bag of light cocoa candy melts to draw 4 tiny seeds onto the white center of the apple.

9. Let harden and enjoy!

Everyone’s favorite dessert, milk and cookies, twisted into a cool tasty treat – Milk and Cookies Popsicles featuring Golden OREOs.

Milk and Cookies Popsicles

We twisted everyone’s favorite dessert into a yummy treat, Milk and Cookies Popsicles! This Popsicle recipe features Golden OREOs. We did not use whole milk in this recipe, we used our secret ingredient Almond Milk. We make a lot of smoothies in our home, so Almond Milk is a pretty common staple ingredient for us. To add more flavor, we included sugar and vanilla extract. If you need a Popsicle mold, these are like the molds we used.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk
¼ cups Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Golden OREOs
Popsicle molds – these are like the molds we used, but they have many more options!

Directions:

Pour two cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk into a blender.
Add in ¼ cup of sugar.
Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
Blend until the mixture is well combined.
Place one whole Golden Oreo into the bottom of each Popsicle mold.
Break another Golden Oreo into fourths, and layer it the rest of the way to the top of each Popsicle mold.
Pour your Popsicle mixture into each mold to fill it to the top.
Place the tops on each of the Popsicle molds.
Put the Popsicles in the freezer for at least 5 hours.
When ready to serve, you can loosen the Popsicle in the molds with some warm running water.

Twist up this popular dessert into a tasty treat for summer, Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles. This frozen dessert features yogurt, strawberries, and a hardening chocolate sauce!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles

We our family wants to go out for dessert, we often hit a bakery. This allows everyone to get what the desire… and living in a major city, we are fortunate to have about half a dozen dessert options within a 3 miles radius… is that fortunate, or trouble? When we hit these bakeries, one of my favorite items to get for myself are chocolate covered strawberries, but sometimes it feels like an arm and a leg to get just one. I mean, two dollars for that strawberry? I think not when I know I can get a small carton of strawberries for that price! Anyways, my sweet tooth always wins and the frugal in me always falls (insert sad face.) This summer, I wanted to create a treat for the kids and I that was a fraction of what it would cost for me to hit up the bakery – Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles.

These Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles had my kids in mind (thus the sprinkles and Magic Shell, but you could always adapt the recipe to your own taste buds – like how about melting some Ghirardelli Chocoalte Chips with no sprinkles – we think mom, aka me, would love that!

Enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles

Ingredients:

2 cup Sliced strawberries
1 cup Vanilla Greek yogurt
¼ cup Sugar
Smucker’s Chocolate Magic Shell chocolate
Sprinkles
Popsicle molds – these are like the molds we used, but they have many more options!

Directions:

Place 2 cups of sliced strawberries into a blender.
Mix in 1 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt.
Add in ¼ cup of sugar.
Blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
Pour the strawberry mixture into Popsicle molds until they are full.
Place the lids on the Popsicle molds.
Put the Popsicle in the freezer for no less than 5 hours.
Fill a small wide-mouthed cup or jar with Magic Shell chocolate topping.
Dip the frozen strawberry yogurt pops down into the chocolate. Let it sit for a second or two.
Before the chocolate shell hardens, add some sprinkles so that they will stick.
Place the Popsicle onto a plate or cookie sheet, and put them back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Remove the Popsicle from the freezer and serve!

Ridiculously easy chocolate pudding bowls made with melting chocolate and the shape of balloons. You won’t believe how easy this ice cream balloon bowl tutorial is with a few simple steps and ingredients.

Chocolate Pudding Bowls Made with Balloons

Want a creative and cute dessert idea for the kids? Make the chocolate dipped balloon bowls. They are so easy, take a few simple ingredients and the kids will have a blast blowing up the balloon (okay, how are we kidding, you will be doing this) and dipping in in the chocolate.

Follow these simple steps. We served with vanilla pudding, but you could try other flavor puddings or even ice cream – I suggest serving on a plate or in a bowl as the chocolate will quick crack when you use a spoon to scoop out the yummy insides. Best of all, you get to eat you chocolate bowl!

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

12 Small Round Balloons (water balloons work well)
8 oz Melting/Dipping Chocolate Candy (your choice of color)
1 box Pudding Mix
2 cup Milk
Candy Decorations (optional)

Directions:

Make pudding according to box directions and allow to cool.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Melt chocolate by microwaving 45 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.
Inflate each balloon just until slightly larger than an tennis ball and tie off.
Dip and roll balloon in chocolate until covered about half way.
Place on tray and set tray in freezer for 10 minutes until set.
Dip and roll each balloon a second tip to thicken chocolate shell.
Return to tray and return tray to freezer for 15 minutes.
Snip top of each balloon to release air.
Gently slide your finger and pull balloon away from shell working your way around the edge.
If shell starts to soften, return to freezer for 10 minutes and continue after it firms.
If there are in holes in bottom, carefully fill with melted chocolate to patch and freeze to set.
Fill each egg with pudding and sprinkle with decorations if desired.
Refrigerate until served.

Snow Cone Summer Cupcakes

Summer, summer, summertime…

We found some of the cutest summer cupcakes for your little crew. Don’t let the look fool you. These aren’t your ordinary shaved iced. These are snow cone cupcakes eaten with a spoon! They also are very easy and your little ones will have a fun time feeling like they just walked off The Next Baking Championship program!

Enjoy!

Ingredients and Supplies:

6 Prepared Cupcakes, unfrosted
1 Container White Frosting
Sanding Sugars—red, yellow, blue
6 White Styrofoam Cups, 12 oz (you can find smaller ones here)
6 Plastic Spoons
Scissors

Directions:

First, cut off a little more than half of the top of each cup. The bottoms will be used to hold the cupcakes so make sure the cupcakes fit inside with the cake tops being about even with the cup tops. Don’t put the cupcakes into the cups yet.
Frost each cupcake with a thick layer of frosting and smooth it into a dome shape.
Start with the blue sugar and sprinkle a thick coat on the left third of the frosting so it looks like a blue stripe. Use the yellow sugar next and sprinkle a thick coat on the middle of the cupcake to look like a yellow stripe. Use the red sugar last to sprinkle on a thick coat for a red stripe on the right third of the cupcake. It should resemble a snow cone.
Set each cupcake down into a cup and dip a spoon down into the edge of the cake so it looks like a spoon inside a snow cone.
Ready to serve.
