Back to School Sweets

School is about to start again!!

 One of my friends is going back to school again {this time as a pre-K teacher!} and to celebrate with her, we decided to have a mini school party ;)

Take a look...

The best thing about school is all the memories you make...

I'm still friends when a bunch of people I went to school with and we love remembering those days...and thanks to FB I get to hear from them more often even thought we're far away :(

When I was a little girl I couldn't wait to see my friends again and to start using my new notebooks and pencils...specially if they where glittery ;)

Then I became a language teacher and besides getting to know my students, my favorite part was decorating my classroom for the new school year!

Hope these sweets brought you back some nice memories ;)

Enjoy!!

Chocolate Covered Cookie Lollipops

Make your own yummy Chocolate Covered Cookie Lollipops!

I made these treats over the weekend and they tasted amazing :)

Here's the tutorial for you to make them in time for Christmas..they look adorable!

Your guests will be in for a double treat with these ones!

What you need:

1 batch of cookie dough

1 cookie cutter (any shape you love!)

White lollipop sticks

Chocolate candy melts (I used milk chocolate flavor because my cookies had a Gingerbread man shape)

M&M's (for the buttons)

Wax paper

1 Baking tray

1 Tray to place inside fridge

Microwave safe dish to melt chocolate melts

What to do:

1. Spread the cookie dough and cut cookies with your cookie cutter.

2. Add a lollipop stick to each cut cookie dough, creating a lollipop and place in tray baking tray allowing 1" in between for perfect baking. Bake them for 10 minutes.

3. Let your cookie lollipops cool off for about 30 minutes.

4. Melt chocolate candy in your microwave safe dish. Dip cookie lollipops in the chocolate, help yourself with a small spatula or spoon.

5. Tap the lollipop to make sure you get rid off the excess chocolate from dipping.

6. Place chocolate covered cookies in a tray already covered with wax paper.

7. Decorate by adding M&M's and other sprinkles, royal icing or white chocolate.

8. Place them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.

Really fun to make...

Enjoy!!
