RICE KRISPY POPS

Steps:

• I used the following: Wilton round cookie-pop tray, cookie-pop sticks, assorted color icing and metallic ties all of which can be found in the cake decorating section of a party store or craft store. Saran type wrap was used to wrap the pops.
• Spray cookie tray lightly with Pam.
• Melt margarine in heavy pan over medium heat.
• Add marshmallows and stir continuously until smooth.
• Add vanilla.
• Add nonpareils and stir.
• Turn heat off but leaving pot on burner add the cereal. and stir until evenly mixed.
• Put some in mold, add stick and put some more on top and with damp hands press lightly.
• Have fun decorating, let dry and over pop with plastic wrap and fasten with ties to secure the wrap. I put them in a basket filled with Styrofoam that I decorated.
