Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 48 lollipop sticks
  • 2 cups candy eyes
  • 1 cup assorted colorful candies
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  4. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Using clean hands, shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Insert a lollipop stick into each dough ball and flatten slightly to create a disk shape.
  7. Place the dough pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake the pops for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth and melted.
  12. Once the pops have cooled, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
  13. Immediately decorate each pop with candy eyes and assorted colorful candies to create monster faces.
  14. Place the decorated pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
  15. Serve and enjoy these delicious Chocolate Chip Monster Pops!
