I promised that I would post the instructions for the Mickey Mouse Pops from AnnaLeigh and Truett’s Mickey Mouse Train Birthday party<\/a>.\u00a0 Well, this may be 2 weeks late, but I am finally posting.<\/p>\n

Also 2.5 weeks late would be our family Easter picture.\u00a0 I would love to post all the pics of my maniacs hunting eggs at school, church, and at friends’ houses, but at this point, I think I have waited much too long to write about our Easter weekend.\u00a0 Here is one family pic that was snapped before we walked into church.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And now onto our Mickey Mouse Pops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> They are really pretty simple, and don’t take too much time or skill.\u00a0 Mine were in no way perfect, and I did not take the time to make them perfect.\u00a0 I knew they were going straight in the mouths of precious little babes (and my big ol’ mouth), so I wasn’t too worried about perfection.\u00a0 The kids knew that these were Mickey pops…and that’s all that mattered.<\/p>\n

What you will need:<\/p>\n

Mini Oreos, MEGA STUF Oreos, Chocolate Almond Bark, Lollipop Sticks<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to the store to get Double Stuf Oreos, but I found these instead!\u00a0 How could I resist?!?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>They worked beautifully for the Mickey Pops.\u00a0 You can use Double Stuf Oreos if you can not find the Mega Stuf.<\/p>\n

Put one cube of Almond Bark in a ZipLock bag and microwave it on a low power.\u00a0 You want your almond bark to melt, but you do not want it to be too hot to handle.\u00a0 Once it is melted, cut a tiny slit in the corner of the bag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Squeeze a dab onto a mini Oreo<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stick the Mini Oreos to the Mega Stuf Oreo.\u00a0 It does NOT have to be perfect.\u00a0 The chocolate can be globby.\u00a0 Hm.\u00a0 Spell check doesn’t like the word “globby.”\u00a0 Oh well, you want enough chocolate for the Mini Oreos to stick to the large Oreo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Set the Mickey heads on wax paper and let them completely dry before you put them on a lollipop stick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then push the Lollipop stick into the white center.\u00a0 It will fit perfectly into the Mega Stuf Oreos and it works best if you apply a little pressure to the cookie, just so it doesn’t break apart.\u00a0 If you find that the white filling is too hard, microwave each cookie for about 2-3 seconds just to barely soften it.\u00a0 Push the stick almost all the way through, but not quite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You will need a shallow bowl to coat the Mickey heads with chocolate.\u00a0 Melt the almond bark.\u00a0 Again, you will need to heat it on a low power so that it is warm, but not too hot to handle.\u00a0 You will have to hold the bowl, so make sure it’s not too hot for your hand.\u00a0 Also, if the chocolate it too hot, it will melt the ears off of your Mickey head.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dip one side of the Mickey in the chocolate, making sure that you coat the white icing of the large Oreo and the small Oreos.\u00a0 It works best if you tilt the bowl of chocolate over to get the chocolate as close to the edge as possible.\u00a0 The chocolate needs to come all the way to the lollipop stick so that the Mickey pop stays in tact.<\/p>\n

Quickly dip it on one side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then flip it and dip it on the other side.\u00a0 Again, focus on completely covering the Mickey with the chocolate almond bark.\u00a0 I did lose an occasional ear into the chocolate.\u00a0 Just stick it back on and lay that one aside until it dries again…or eat it. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lay them on wax paper until they are completely dry.\u00a0\u00a0 And that is it!\u00a0 Mickey Mouse Pops!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We covered them with a little cellophane bag and put a red\/white bow on them.\u00a0 Ta-Dah!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>See ya real soon!<\/p>\n
