Dum Dum Cookie Pops {recipe}

{This post is from my food allergy blog, Living the Allergic Life}

We love a good, fun snack in this house and these Dum Dum Cookie Pops are such a happy treat! I love these as an alternative to sending cupcakes to school for birthdays. {Although, our school does not allow birthday treats anymore because of food allergy concerns.} These are a super easy treat and are a great way to use up the Dum Dums at the bottom of the Halloween bag this season. The only exception is that mine are mostly allergy-free for my daughter who lives with 3 major food allergies! You can use regular milk and any sugar cookie mix or recipe for these, just as easily. SO EASY and FUN! Hope you enjoy!

I used the Cherrybrook Kitchen Sugar Cookie Mix {thanks, Dayna!} and followed the instructions on the box using Smart Balance Light {dairy-free}and unsweetened Almond Milk {dairy-free}. Mix according to package directions and drop onto greased cookie sheet.

Then, simply unwrap and press a Dum Dum Lollipop into the center of each cookie dough. Bake at 325 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Let cool on a cooling rack. Package up individually for a great classroom treat!

Banana Strawberry Lime Sorbet {recipe}

If you're looking for a quick yummy dessert that takes less than 10 minutes to make start to finish, this is it! Bonus: it's also healthy! My girls were asking me for dessert last night after dinner and I just didn't want them to have more sugary stuff {they'd already eaten cookies after lunch}, so they asked me to make Grammy's ice cream. My mom makes a yummy banana based 'ice cream/sorbet' and they love it. So, I used what I had on hand.

All you need is a couple frozen bananas {sliced and then frozen}, frozen strawberries {or any other frozen fruit}, lime juice to taste. I also add an all natural juice like POM juice as I blend it in the food processor to get the consistency I want. It's delicious and refreshing! The kids love it and you can freeze the leftovers in popsicle molds for later.

Try it! This would be a great after-school snack!

Thanks for stopping by!
