For the Christmas play a my daughter's preschool I made these snowman cookies. When it came time for the spring bake sale, I knew just what to make.
Cause these little snowmen on a stick went over big with the kids, so I figured I'd have to make something on a stick again.
The theme was Spring.
So I gathered up my 3 favorite ingredients, vanilla Oreo cookies, Almond Bark and sprinkles. {Yep, that's how I bake cookies!} I broke half a package of Almond Bark into squares and placed in a microwavable bowl, then put it in the microwave for 1 minute and then stirred, 1 more minute and stirred, it's usually melted by 2 minutes. I then dipped the end of a sucker stick into the Almond Bark and slid it gently between the cookie sandwich.
It's all right if the cookie breaks or cracks cause soon it will be covered with chocolate and no one will see it. I waited a less that a minute, dipped the both sides of the cookie on a stick into the Almond Bark and placed it on wax paper. Sophie and Joe added the sprinkles before the chocolate hardened.
I got 2 of these "lasagna" aluminum pans for $1 at Walmart. I like them because they have a tall lid so the cookies can stand up in the pan. I cut a piece of packing styrofoam that I got when I ordered my new desk chair to fit the pan. I wrapped it in aluminum foil. {If I had more time, I would have covered it with green wrapping paper too.} I just poked the sucker sticks into the styrofoam in little rows.
30 cookies fit tightly into my not-so neat rows. The kids and parents at the bake sale loved them and they sold out before any of the other cookies, so I think they were a hit.

How very cute! I can see why they sold out so quickly. If I saw anyone with one I would want to know where to get one.
