Have you heard that The Peanuts movie is coming out? Good ‘ole Charlie Brown and his gang, to the rescue! I recently watched the trailer, and it looks like such a cute movie (and I don’t say that lightly about cartoons). It comes out November 6th, and is made from the creators of Rio and Ice Age. Just from the preview, I could tell that there is some great sarcastic (clean) adult humor thrown in, so I won’t fall asleep like the last cartoon I watched with the fam. I’ve teamed up withRandalls // Albertsons // Safeway to share this cake pop idea featuring Charlie and his right hand dog, Snoopy. Whether watching the flick with your family, or taking a car load of kids, it’d be fun to share these cake pops before or after the movie to have a splash of “festive-ness” in the adventure.
There are a variety of ways to make cake pops.
My fave is to smash a creme filled cookie up with cream cheese, roll it into a ball, and dip it. So this isn’t a recipe for how to make cake pops, but showing you an idea for making them for The Peanuts Movie celebration. I decorated the display with some Pop Secret popcorn spread around and in the stand that holds up the treats (styrofoam under the popcorn).
To decorate the cake pops, you’ll need melting chips in: yellow, white, black
So let me tell you a fun little tip. If you go to your local Randalls // Albertsons // Safeway (or whichever store is in you area)Â you can get this adorable reusable trick-or-treat back free with the purchase.
When I showed my youngest this trick-or-treat back, she excitedly asked, “Can I use this on Halloween?” Well, yes, of course!
