Bunny Ice Cream Sandwich Pops
These Bunny Ice Cream Sandwich Pops are a fun, freezer-friendly Easter treat made with ice cream sandwiches dipped in white candy melts and decorated with marshmallow ears, a mini marshmallow tail, and pink sanding sugar. These no bake spring desserts are easy to prep ahead and perfect as Easter party food.
Ingredients
- 4 ice cream sandwiches I technically used mini, but I'm sure regular sized would work fine
- 8 lollipop sticks
- 20 oz white candy melts
- 1-2 tsp coconut or vegetable oil
- 8 large marshmallows for ears
- 8 mini marshmallows for tails
- pink sanding sugar
- Optional decorations: candy eyes, mini pink candies for noses, sprinkles, etc.
Instructions
- Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut each sandwich in half (crosswise) so you have shorter pieces.
- Insert a lollipop stick into each half. Freeze for 15–30 minutes until very firm (Don't skip this step!). Keep in the freezer until you’re ready to dip.
- Cut large marshmallows diagonally to create ear shapes, then dip the sticky cut side into pink sanding sugar for the inner ear. Set aside mini marshmallows for the tails.
- Melt the white candy melts according to the package directions (microwave in short bursts, stirring between).Stir in 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil to make the coating smoother and easier to dip. If it still feels thick, add a little more oil (up to about 2 teaspoons total).*
- Working with 1–4 pieces at a time (leave the rest in the freezer), dip each ice cream sandwich half into the melted coating. Let the excess drip off, then place it back on the parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 5–10 minutes, or until the coating is set.*
- Rewarm a small amount of melted candy melts if needed. Use a small dot of melted coating as “glue” to attach 2 of the large marshmallow ears to the top of each ice cream sandwich pop.
- Then, use some melted candy melts to attach a mini marshmallow to the back of each ice cream sandwich pop for a tail.
- Freeze for another 10 minutes just to make sure everything sets.
- Add candy eyes, a tiny nose, or sprinkles using a dot of melted candy melts as glue. Freeze again for a few minutes to set.
- Keep frozen until serving. Store leftover pops in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
*I found it works best to melt a little of chocolate at a time and work in batches of about 4 ice cream sandwiches at a time. Also, it helped to let the melting candies cool a bit because scalding hot melting candies melt the ice cream sandwiches.
