So the birthday is finally behind us!! I have hardly had a chance to even think about blogging!
But I've been doing my best to document the crafting and cooking.
One if a biggest hits at the part were the Oreo pops, and the marshmallow pops.
My goal was to make a treat related to each of the main characters in the show.
The Oreo pops were foofa. According to the theme song, Foofa is pink and happy.
That's reaaalllly what I was going for with these oreos.
/sarcasm
It was relativity easy. This is the first time I've really put anything on a stick, so I will admit to wish I hadn't started with something so fragile.
The tedious part came first while twisting apart each and every oreo. I then had to use one stick to make an indent where the stick would eventually be. After each oreo was indented (and like 3 or 4 were eaten by OH) I then put a stick in each indent and closed up each oreo.
After that, it's pretty easy to guess how it went down. I dipped each oreo in melted pink chocolate.
Now, some people use those fancy meltables, but I find it much more innovative (aka cheaper) to use white almost bark and add about a tablespoon of shortening to thin it out nicely. Of course, don't forget the food coloring.
I also want to mention that it's best to do a small amount of chocolate at a time. The chocolate melts easily and cools just as easily. After it cools, you can re-melt, but it's never quite the same. After each dip, I threw on some sprinkles, and voila. Awe inducing deliciousness.
