Nothing says “eat me now” like food on a stick. The ingenious idea for simple serving and snacking has got us questioning the need for our beloved knives and forks (just kidding!). Dip it, grab it, stick it – the kids’ love it and so do we!
To show our appreciation for this super cute snack we’ve found 17 bite-sized stick-y treats you just have to try at home.
Glaze and glory
Don’t waste the holes of your donuts! Stick ’em, dip ’em and make your very own donut pops for a colourful party treat! We can’t get enough of these confetti covered cuties. (via 100 Layer Cakelet)
Simple sushi
Why stop the sushi fun at rolling? These scrummy sushi pops may even make the “avo only” eaters tempted to try a new combo. (via Better Recipes)
Streamlined sandwich
Save the kids leaving all their crusts by making a bread-free sandwich! These turkey and veggie skewers are an awesome idea for kids parties or easy lunchtime nibble. Simple, quick and delicious! (via One Charming Party)
No-bake ball
As if cookie dough wasn’t tempting enough! Dipped, sticked and chocolate chipped; someone has definitely been eavesdropping on our 3pm daydreams with these chocolate chip cookie truffles. (via Bakerella)
Petite pancakes
Want to make the weekend brekkie a little more fun? These mini pancakes pops are a sure-fire way to keep the munchkins at the table. (via Dulces Bocados)
Salad Stack
Lets face it; salad can be seriously boring (you know it’s true!). If you’re not one to get creative in the kitchen, simply stack your salad on a stick, drizzle with dressing and dive right in. (via Food Network)
Super swirls
Hhmm…So we’ve got a serious weakness for freshly baked buns (who doesn’t?), but when they’re bite-sized and in abundance we simply can’t resist. These mini cinnamon rolls are our kryptonite. (via Artisan Bread in Five)
Favourite flavours
Why waste time rummaging for the best bits in your salad when you can simply stack them on a stick! This watermelon salad on a stick is a genius idea. Yum! (via All Recipes)
Wonderful waffles
Oh crickey! We thought waffles were already a tough treat to turn down, and now someone’s gone and dipped them in toffee and chocolate. We give up. (via Better Recipes)
Macaron mouthful
Macarons are a definite favourite come afternoon teatime. Popping these pretties on a stick and making them even cuter simply seals the deal. We want. (via Tartelette Blog)
Breaded Babybel
Think bite-sized pieces of baked Camembert, only cheaper, more delicious and definitely a tad more naughty. Yep, that’s right, deep fried Babybel just rolled in! Served on sticks straight from the pan they’re begging to be eaten. (via La Receta de la Felicidad)
Nuts for nutella
Keep getting caught with a spoon full of Nutella in your mouth? Same here, and it isn’t pretty. If you’re totally nutty for the good stuff, but want to step away from the spoon, these Nutella pop puffs will have you (and your tummy) rejoicing in no time. (via Sabrina Sue)
Pretty pretzels
Forget cake pops. Pretzel pops are the new guys in town and they’re taking the savoury snack to a whole new level. Sprinkle with herbs, cheese or a mixture of both – It’s time to test your topping skills! (via Brit & Co )
Shortbread stack
Biscuit, cream, fruit. Biscuit, cream, fruit. Next time you have a really bad day, say these 3 magic words out loud and this strawberry shortcake skewer will appear before your very eyes. Well…not really, but we can all dream. (via Karen in the Kitchen)
Peanut perfection
Technically not on a stick, but these layered peanut butter brittle ice cream pops are too tasty to miss the list! Layers of peanut brittle, vanilla ice cream and peanut butter are scooped into paper cups before being set to perfection. When ready, grab the spoon ‘handle’ and go to town! (via Better Recipes)
Frozen fruit
For a sweet summertime snack, it doesn’t get much better than these super juicy Strawberry pops. Dunked in yoghurt and covered in a strawberry jelly, they’re the perfect combination of tangy tasty sweetness! (via Cuisine Addict)
Easy kiwi
Oh chocolate, we love you. A simple dip in the good stuff and these kiwi popsicles are a super easy treat to keep the kids (and mum) smiling in summer. (via Show Food Chef)
