A few weeks ago I made baseball Rice Krispie lollipops for Kenzie's t-ball team. It went much smoother than I expected, so I thought I'd shared my method. The key ingredient was this life-saving mold I found at Michaels.
I prepared the Rice Krispies per the box recipe (or see here). After the mix was ready, I sprayed one of the molds VERY generously with cooking spray and then spooned the krispie mix in until it was full. Then I sprayed a piece of wax paper (it will stick if you don't) and pressed the krispie mix into the mold.
I shaped the edges, too, to make the pops nice and round. Then I stuck a long lollipop stick (also at Michaels) through the bottom (trying hard to stay in the middle of the krispie mix) almost to the top of the lollipop. Then I laid a piece of wax paper on the counter, sprayed the back of the lollipop, and placed it on the wax paper to set. Once they were all done, I let them cool completely and then used red cookie icing for the baseball stitches. *TIP: Place a cup along the side of the cookie and use it as a guide to draw your stitching lines.
Once the icing set, I placed them in clear bags and tied them with grosgrain ribbon. They were a bit hit with the kids :)
You can really get creative with these. Some more ideas I found:
Chocolate dipped - YUM!
HalloweeniePink hearts - push the krispie mix into shaped cookie cutters
Sushi - use fruit roll ups to wrap (TOO cute!)
