🍘 Rice Krispies Treats – Store-bought or homemade. Just make sure they’re soft enough to press into the mold.
🍫 Candy Melts – Red, white, and blue melts are used for the coating and decorative drizzle. Wilton is a great brand.
🥥 Coconut oil or Easy Thin – A little goes a long way to smooth out melted candy for dipping and coating.
🌟 Patriotic sprinkles – Think stars, stripes, glitter, and sparkle! Use a mix for extra festive flair.
🎉 Paper straws – They make great handles and add a pop of color. Cut to size if needed.
🍫 MELT. Microwave white candy melts in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed to thin.
🧁 COAT. Pour a thin layer into each mold cavity. Tilt to coat the base evenly.
🍘 PRESS. Flatten Rice Krispies Treats and gently press one into each mold cavity, leaving space on the sides.
🥄 SEAL. Spoon more melted white chocolate on top to fully cover. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
❄️ CHILL. Freeze for 10–15 minutes until firm.
🍬 UNMOLD. Gently pop out the treats. Trim the edges for a clean look if needed.
🎨 DECORATE. Melt red and blue candy melts separately. Drizzle over each pop and sprinkle with patriotic sprinkles right away.
🎯 STICK. Heat a metal skewer and poke a hole in the base. Insert a festive paper straw.
🎁 WRAP. Package individually or arrange on a serving tray. Ready to party!
✅ Thin your melted candy for smooth pouring
✅ Let the base set before adding the treat
✅ Always tap the mold to eliminate air bubbles
✅ Drizzle and sprinkle one pop at a time so the drizzle doesn’t set before decorating
✅ Reheat and wipe your skewer between each pop for clean holes
✨ Add edible glitter for sparkle under the fireworks
✨ Switch candy melt colors for other holidays (red/green for Christmas, pastel for Easter!)
✨ Make ahead and store in the fridge until party time
✨ Freeze before adding straws for extra stability
Keep your decorated pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, refrigerate with layers separated by parchment paper.
