What a fun treat! These are so super simple, so cute and tasty that we had to share this Thanksgiving treat hack with you! We love making themed foods for family fun, party fun, holiday fun and just because and these little pops are no exception. They are made with ingredients that most people love – Golden Oreos, Mini Nutter Butter and candy corn. Not to mention, they are also great for a centerpiece on a table, or wrap saran wrap or treat baggies around the top to give as gifts. Really there are so many options with this fun instant treat! Now please note, if you do use the royal icing, the assembly is nearly instant, but you do need to “let it dry” and set!
