Anyone with a sweet tooth will go hog wild for these candy-coated pigs. My mother-in-law and I made the cute, cookie pops for a bake sale.—Lorri Reinhardt, Big Bend, Wisconsin

Piggy Pops Recipe

Prep: 1 hour + cooling

Yield: 32 Servings

60 60

Ingredients

16 large pink and/or white marshmallows
1 tablespoon sugar
2 packages (10 to 12 ounces each) white baking chips
2 tablespoons shortening
3 to 4 drops red food coloring, optional
32 double-stuffed Oreo cookies
32 Popsicle sticks or craft sticks
64 miniature semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 tablespoon)
64 M&M's miniature baking bits (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions

Cut marshmallows into thirds horizontally; cut the center portion of each into four wedges for ears. Roll cut sides of ears in sugar to prevent sticking together. Set ears and remaining portions aside.
In a microwave, melt baking chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Stir in food coloring if desired.
Twist apart sandwich cookies. Dip the end of a Popsicle stick into melted baking chip mixture and place on a cookie half; replace cookie top. Repeat. Place pops on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.
Reheat baking chip mixture if necessary; dip a pop in mixture and allow excess to drip off. Return to waxed paper-lined baking sheet. While wet, position a marshmallow slice on the cookie for a snout. Add ears on top edge of cookie; hold for a few seconds or until set. Add chocolate chip eyes. Place two baking bits on snout, securing with a dab of baking chip mixture. Repeat. Let stand until set. Yield: 32 pops.

I made 60 for a retiring pig farmer's party. Everyone loved them. Some thought they were too cute to eat! (But most did anyway!) There was a lot of time put in making and wrapping, but was worth the responses! I used mini cherry chips for the nostrils. I wrapped them individually in handiwrap and tied shut with the ribbon.
