Halloween Pops

I came across Martha Stewart's idea for the white chocolate ghosts years ago, and the kids and I have made them every Halloween since.  You can take her recipe even further by substituting ingredients and making different designs for other holidays throughout the year.


     Ingredients

• 12 ounces of white chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• lollipop sticks (I ran out and used popsicle sticks instead)
• mini semisweet chocolate chips

1. Melt chocolate over simmering water, stirring occasionally.
2. Add oil and stir until fully mixed in.
3. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
4. Drop a spoonful onto the lined sheet and spread into the ghost shape.
5. Put the lollipop stick in the middle.
6. Add the mini chips for eyes and a mouth.
7. Put the sheet in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to eat.

* To make the pumpkins, I substituted peanut butter chips in the place of the white chocolate chips.  Then added red and yellow food coloring to get the orange color I wanted.

Try adding food coloring and shaping them into different holiday designs: trees, eggs, coins.
