These Girl Scout Cookie Pops made with Trefoil cookies are fun and easy to make, and quick to disappear.

Girl Scout Cookies are so good that they disappear really quick once the package is opened.

What’s better than eating a Girl Scout cookie one at a time?

Well, it’s eating them two at a time AND eating them with a lollipop stick.

About this Recipe

These Girl Scout Cookie Pops are a fun way to dress up Girl Scout Trefoil cookies and eat two of them at a time while you’re at it.

These cookie pops could actually be made out of any non-sandwich type cookie like chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, or even Lorna Doone cookies.

The best part of this recipe idea is that you can customize it with the color and type of candy sprinkles that cover the outside of the cookie pops.

They can be made into DIY wedding or party favors.

And they would be so pretty as a gift wrapped in cellophane with a ribbon.

These cookie pops would also be adorable as a bouquet using Styrofoam as a base in a non-see-through-type vase.

Just don’t be like me and drop the little decorative candies all over the kitchen counter.

Then on the kitchen floor.

And then walk on them with your bare feet and track them through the house.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Girl Scout Trefoils cookies, caramel candies, Almond Bark candy coating (white), colored candy sprinkles and lollipop sticks

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

For the Cookies and Caramel Filling:

On a large plate,

lay 9 cookies front side down so that the flat part of the cookie is facing up.

Set aside the remaining 9 cookies.

Set one caramel (unwrapped) on top of each cookie on the plate.

Try to put the caramel right in the middle of the cookie.

Next, transfer about 3 or 4 of the cookies with the caramel candy to a smaller plate that can go in the microwave.

Heat the caramel (along with the cookie it’s sitting on) for about 20 seconds in the microwave.

The idea is to heat the caramel just enough so it’s soft to the touch but not runny.

Remove from the microwave and poke a lollipop stick in the middle of the caramel.

Poke the lollipop stick into one of the sides of the caramel rather than through the top of the caramel.

Then,

take one of the remaining cookies that was previously set aside and lay it on top of the warm caramel with the decorative side up.

gently push the middle part of the top cookie down to make a “caramel sandwich cookie”.

Make sure that the caramel is warm enough so that both the bottom and top cookies are sticking to it.

If the cookies aren’t sticking to the caramel,

just pop the cookie with the caramel on top of it back into the microwave for about 10 seconds.

Or it may take a few seconds longer to get the caramel soft.

Just be careful not to get the caramel too hot or it will turn into caramel soup.

Repeat this process for the remaining cookies.

For the Candy Coating:

Add the candy coating to a small bowl that can go in the microwave.

Heat the candy coating in the microwave for 30 second bursts until it’s melted, making sure to stir after each 30 second interval.

Once the candy coating is melted,

dip the cookies (one cookie pop at a time) in the coating making sure the entire cookie is covered.

Hold the cookie by the stick upside down over the bowl so that the excess coating drips off.

Right after dipping the cookie pop in the coating,

dip it in the candy sprinkles.

Use your fingers or a spoon to put the candy toppings all around the candy coating so the cookie pop is completely covered with candies.

TIP – The candy sprinkles need to be added right after dipping the cookie in the coating so that the sprinkles stick nicely to all sides of the cookie pop.

Use your fingers or a spoon to put the candy toppings all around the candy coating so the cookie pop is completely covered with candies.

Then carefully put the cookie pop stick side down in a small drinking glass or mug to let the candy coating cool and set.

Repeat the candy-coating process for the remaining cookies.

Reheat the candy coating that’s in the bowl as needed.

These are fun to make and to eat.

Such a pretty bouquet of cookie pops…
