INgredIeNts
• 1 (12 ounce) package colored candy
coating melts, divided
• 24 plain doughnut holes
• 24 lollipop sticks
• 1 tablespoon multicolored candy sprinkles
(jimmies), as desired
dIrectIoNs
1. Place about 1/4 cup of candy melts into
a small microwave-safe bowl, and melt in the
microwave at 40 percent power for 30 seconds;
stir the candy coating, and continue to heat
for 30 second-intervals until the coating is just
warm and completely melted.
2. Poke a hole halfway through a doughnut
hole with a lollipop stick, then dip the end of
the stick into the melted coating and reinsert
into the hole. This holds the doughnut hole
firmly on the stick. Stick the doughnut pop
upright into a block of plastic foam, and set into
refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up.
3. When pops are firmly attached to their
sticks, melt the remaining candy coating dots
in a microwave-safe bowl on 40 percent power
for 1 minute; stir, and melt for 30-seconds at
a time until the coating is warm and smoothly
melted. Dip the doughnut hole into the coating,
covering it completely. Hold the dipped pop
over a bowl, and sprinkle with colored candy
sprinkles. Return the decorated pops to the
plastic foam block to set.
