Ghoulish Oreo Pops

These Oreo Cookie Pops are super fun and delicious.

Am I the only one that buys copious amounts of sprinkles? I just think they are so pretty, so I buy them, any time I see them. Which is the case with the Halloween sprinkles, last year. I bought so much of them, that I still had a pretty good amount one year later. So I decided to use them, and wanted to do something different with them. I thought Oreo Pops would be perfect. Well, let me tell you, after dipping my 2 first Oreos, I started to regret even thinking of doing this. The warm chocolate was melting the Oreo filling and they were slipping off my lollipop sticks!!  As I sat and contemplated just scrapping this whole idea and sitting with the bag of Oreo and a glass of milk, to drown my frustrations; I had a brilliant idea! What if I glue the cookies together, and to the lollipop stick, with melted chocolate. After placing melted chocolate in the center of my Oreos (after adding the stick) and a quick trip to the freezer, to set, they were ready for a trip in the melted chocolates.

I went with milk chocolate, for the black/orange sprinkles and white chocolate, for the green/purple/black sprinkles. I had some candy corn, so I thought these would be a perfect embellishment for our Oreo Pops. After I glued the cookies with chocolate, the pops came together quite easily. They look super cute and they are out of this world. I just love the crunchy cookie, paired with the sweet chocolate.  These would be perfect for the kids to bring to school, for their Halloween parties!!



Ghoulish Oreo Pops

1 pkg Double Stuff Oreo Cookies
3/4 C milk chocolate melts
3/4C white chocolate melts
1/2 C each black/orange sprinkles and purple/green/black sprinkles
candy corn ( I used regular and black/purple/white)
16 lollipop sticks

Place chocolate melts into 2 coffee mugs. Cook in microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Stir until smooth.

Gently separate cookies, one at a time. Carefully press a lollipop stick into the Oreo stuffing and cover the filling with a thin layer of melted chocolate and top with top half of cookie. Place in freezer for 15 minutes, to set.

Place sprinkles in small serving plates. Dip, frozen cookies into chocolates, gently tapping them against the rim of the mugs, to shake off the excess chocolate. Place dipped cookies into the sprinkles, making sure all edges are covered. Place finished cookies onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, to set. Once you've dipped all cookies, take small dollops of remaining chocolate and put on one side of the candy corns. Place candy corn, chocolate side down, in center of finished cookies. Let set 30-40 minutes, before digging in.

    Ah! I am so excited about these!
    I have an egg allergy so I usually avoid cake and cake pops.
    These look delicious and so fun!

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
