Making the Cowboy Treat Pops

*Lollipop Sticks

*Chocolate Melting Wafers, used for “gluing”

*Cowboy Hats, see link below to make hats

*
After baking, cool and then use a 1-2 tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of the cooked gold rush bars.  Form into ball shape.  Then stick one of ends of a lollipop stick, covered in melted chocolate into the round ball and let them set until chocolate is completely dry. Now, cut the top of the pop ball just enough to make it flat and slant the sides so that the hat will fit.  Add melted chocolate to the flat top, add the cowboy hat and hold the hat to ball until firm enough to stick them in a lollipop stick holder or a block of styrofoam.
