Rainbow Cookie Push Pops (and a Giveaway)

by

Because I’m anticipating a push pop trend, an upsurge in this clever packaging idea, I ordered a case, yes, a case, of push pop containers, because apparently push pop containers are hard to find. And especially hard to find in quantities under 100. So I ordered 100. And I’m giving away a dozen. Check out my blog HERE to learn how to make sparkly rainbow cookie push pops AND to enter my giveaway of a dozen push pop containers, six bottles of Americolor soft gel pastes, a circle cookie cutter and sprinkles.

YOU MUST ENTER OVER AT THE DECORATED COOKIE. Any comments left here will NOT be entered in the giveaway.

  1. It puts a smile on my face to know that you are sharing the pushpop craze with everyone. 🙂 I love mine. I should build a shrine to them or something!

    Happy weekend!

  2. Hi, my name is Ileana Lozada. Today I was watching the internet and I saw the cookie pus pops and I stayed in shock. I like too much. How can I get some of them. Tell me the price for each or dozen. I’m waiting you.

  3. Ileana, I don’t sell them, I purchased them. If you go to my web site I have a post that has resources, but I’m not sure they ship internationally. You’ll have to contact the sellers directly.

  4. I love push pops! I am so happy to have found your site. Thanks for sharing the many ideas and recipes using push pops. Have a great day!

Quick and Easy Dubai Chocolate-Dipped Dates

I’m completely smitten with the idea of Dubai-style desserts — elegant, a touch exotic, and somehow always Instagram-ready. I haven’t made it to Dubai (yet), but these chocolate-dipped dates bring that luxe, golden glow right into my kitchen. They’re the kind of treat that looks like you spent hours making them, but really, you’re done in under twenty minutes.

They’re sweet, sticky, nutty, and just the right amount of fancy. Perfect for gifting, nibbling with coffee, or impressing that friend who thinks “homemade” means complicated.

Ingredients

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted 
  • ¼ cup pistachios or almonds (to stuff inside) 
  • 100g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer it sweet) 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate) 
  • Crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or edible gold flakes for decoration 

Instructions

  1. Prep the Dates:
     Slice each date along one side to remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact. Fill the cavity with a whole almond or a few chopped pistachios. Gently close the date back up.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:
     Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Dip and Decorate:
     Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, coconut, or a pinch of edible gold flakes for that Dubai sparkle.
  4. Chill and Serve:
     Pop the tray into the fridge for about 10–15 minutes, just until the chocolate firms up. Serve on a pretty platter or package them in small gift boxes.

Optional Flavor Twists

  • Rose Touch: Add a drop of rose water to the melted chocolate for a floral note. 
  • Saffron Luxe: Dust the top with crushed saffron threads before chilling. 
  • Coffee Kick: Dip in mocha-flavored chocolate for a bolder bite. 

Why You’ll Love These

They’re everything Dubai desserts stand for — rich, refined, and effortlessly elegant. A little old-world tradition wrapped in modern chocolate bliss. Keep a few in the fridge for when you need something sweet but can’t be bothered to turn on the oven.
