Ingredients
Scale
For the Candy Pops:
- 25 peanut chews candy pops
- 2 ½ cups yellow candy melts
- 2 ½ cups white candy melts
- ¼ cup orange candy melts
- ¼ cup pink candy melts
For the Decorations:
- 24 candy eyes
- 12 orange flower sprinkles (for beaks)
- 6 small pink heart sprinkles (for feet)
- Easter sprinkle mix
Instructions
- Melt the Candy Coating: In separate bowls, melt the yellow, white, orange, and pink candy melts according to package instructions. Stir until smooth.
- Dip the Candy Pops: Insert lollipop sticks into peanut chews. Dip some pops in yellow candy melts and others in white, ensuring a full coating. Let them set on parchment paper.
- Decorate the Chicks: While the coating is still wet, attach candy eyes, orange flower sprinkles for beaks, and pink heart sprinkles for feet. Drizzle pink and orange candy melts for extra detail.
- Add the Final Touches: Sprinkle Easter mix over the pops for a festive look.
- Set and Serve: Let the pops dry completely before serving or packaging them as gifts.
Notes
- Work quickly when decorating, as candy melts harden fast.
- If the candy melts become too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin them.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
