Valentine’s Day Treats: Puppy Love Pops
Do you remember your first love? Was it Puppy Love? With Valentine’s Day coming up – there is sure to be plenty of Puppy Love Puppy Valentines!
These Puppy Love Pops are just the cutest ever! They are not as difficult to make as you might think, with just a few simple supplies you can create them for your kids, a Classroom Treat or even your sweetie!
I’m seriously in love with these little guys…Puppy Love that is! hehe
So how about if I show you how to make them?
Puppy Love Pops Supplies:
- Frozen Pound Cake
- Vanilla & Chocolate canned frosting…I know, but it really melts the best
- Pink Forks
- Ears – Tootsie Rolls and Caramels
- Fur – Graham Crackers and Oreos, crushed
- Mouth – Conversation Hearts
- Nose – Mini Red M&M
- Eyes – Mini chocolate chips
Step 1
- Cut 1/8 inch off each end of the pound cake, then cut into 1 inch – the cake I bought had handy little marks every inch.
- Using a 2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts. The book says you can get 2 hearts from every piece of cake, I was only able to get 1, so it definitely depends on the size and shape of your cookie cutter.
Step 2
- Push the forks into the cake, place them on a a cookie sheet with wax paper and freeze at least 15 minutes
Step 3
- Meanwhile, make the ears, soften caramels and Tootsie Rolls, one at a time, in the microwave 3-6 seconds, be careful handling them.
- Roll out with a rolling pin and cut out a tear drop shape. I made a template with parchment paper. Lay on wax paper and set aside.
- Crush graham crackers and oreos and place in small bowls.
Step 4
- Reserve about 1/4 cup vanilla frosting for decorating the face.
- Combine the remaining vanilla frosting and 1/4 cup chocolate frosting and melt in microwave about 20-30 seconds, you want the consistency to be like heavy cream {unwhipped}
Step 5
- Dip cake into frosting, coating both sides. Sprinkle with crumbs, and place on wax paper. Put back into freezer.
- I found it best to let them freeze another 15 minutes or so, they were easier to handle.
Then with the reserved vanilla frosting, add the nose, eyes, mouth and ears. Just adorable!!
