A cute and quick treat, this project takes simple sandwich cookies and turns them into a Halloween goodie!
Things you need:
Orange candy coating
Chocolate sandwich cookies {double stuff work best… plus I may like these better 
}
Black gel frosting
Shortening
Green candy coating
Double boiler
Parchment
Things to do:
1. Start water boiling in the bottom of the double boiler and pour orange chips into the top pot, stirring frequently as it melts. Add a teaspoon or two of shortening to help thin out the coating until it is thin enough for dipping.
2. Work one lolly pop stick into the cream center of each cookie and press the cookie gently to make sure it is secure.
3. Dip the cookie end of your lolly pops into the candy coating, using a fork as needed to help lift them out. Let any excess coating drip off before setting on the parchment to dry.
4. Once dry, draw a jack-o-lantern face onto the cookie.
5. Soften one or two green chips in the microwave for a few seconds, just enough to make it slightly workable. Form small stems from the green candy coating and press it into the top of the cookie pumpkin. Allow the coating and frosting to set up before serving.
