- 6 chocolate chip cookies, crushed
- ice cube tray
- 21 popsicle sticks

2.2 Insert 1 popsicle stick into each well, transfer the ice cube tray to the refrigerator, and let everything chill for 5 hours. For quicker results, place the ice cube tray in the freezer and let the snacks freeze for 2 hours instead.
3. Marble Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Pops
Yield: 4
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Inactive Time: 6 hours
Difficulty Level: Moderate
You’ll Need:
- 4 yogurt cups
- 1 lb white chocolate chips, tempered
- 4 oz red chocolate (white chocolate chips + red food coloring), tempered
- 4 popsicle sticks
Here’s How:
3.1 Stick 1 popsicle stick through the lid of each yogurt cup, transfer the yogurt cups to the freezer, and freeze them for 6 hours.
3.2 Temper all of the white chocolate chips, then color ¼ of the tempered white chocolate with red food coloring. Drizzle the tempered red chocolate over the melted white chocolate in a fun pattern.
3.3 Take the frozen yogurt cups out of the freezer and run some warm water over their packaging so that the frozen yogurt pop inside can be removed more easily. Remove the frozen yogurt pops from their cups, twirl them in the tempered chocolate to create a marbled look on the outside, and let any excess chocolate drip off. Stir together the remaining tempered chocolate, pour it into a resealable plastic bag, and let it harden so that you can save some pink chocolate for later! Don’t leave the marble chocolate frozen yogurt pops in the freezer for too long before serving, or the chocolate coating might crack.
