I made cookie dough cupcakes for my daughter's 2nd birthday party in April but these seem like they'd be easier to make.
I definitely have to try it out.
These are so simple! I bet you could even put a lollipop stick in them like the cake pops! Little kids would totally dig that.
Uh oh! I think these are going to be dangerous for me!
🙂 Proceed with caution!
