Hey guys, it’s Ro!
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are going to be making something very fun. You guys really like those
Snicker Pops that I made last week, and I’ve been getting a lot more requests for
something Minecraft. You guys love Minecraft!
And, we have done something Minecraft in the past, but, I had to show you this
recipe because it is so easy. It’s really good for birthday parties, or if you
have a Minecraft themed party.
So let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: Mini sized candy bars, you can get them
any kind you’d like. Here I’ve got Snickers, Milky Ways, Musketeers, you want the
mini size because they are square. Not the fun size, which is rectangle, or the
bite size which is smaller, these are the perfect size!
You will also need pink melting chocolate, red melting chocolate, brown
melting chocolate, green melting chocolate, black melting chocolate, and
a little bit of white melting chocolate, to blend it.
And, lollipop sticks, some skewers or a toothpick to poke the hole in our candy,
and a piece of styrofoam to help our candy pops dry.
Alright, let’s put it all together!
The first thing that you’re gonna do is unwrap all of your candies, and one for me!
Mmmm-hmmm-hmmm-hmmmm!
Now you’re gonna take your… Oh geez!
Now you’re gonna take your kabob stick, or your toothpick, take one of your candies,
and what I do is I just spin, spin, spin, spin, make a hole right in the middle.
You want to push it about 3/4 of the way down.
Then you’re gonna take a lollipop stick, dip it into a little bit
of melted chocolate, I just heated some up over here.
And then, stick it right in there, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist!
There you go! Just like that.
And then I’m just sticking them on top of a cookie sheet with a piece of
wax paper. And we're gonna do this to the rest of our candies, then put
them in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.
Now we’re going to dip them into chocolate, I have melted the brown chocolate and
poured it into a cup because it just makes it easier to dip.
The first things that we’re gonna make are the grass blocks.
So, you’re just gonna take a pop, dip it straight down until it touches the
lollipop, and then pull it straight up.
Then you’re gonna let the excess chocolate drip off, give it a little jiggle.
Once you’ve got it dipped, you’re just gonna stick it over here in the foam
to let it dry. Now I’m gonna do that to a few more of my pops.
I waited about 5 minutes for the chocolate to harden, chocolate dries really
quickly, I love working with it!
And so what I’m gonna do now, is I’ve heated up a little bit of green chocolate,
and I’m just going to dip the tip to make it look like a grass block.
And again, just let the excess green chocolate drip off.
And then to be fancy for details, you don’t have to do this, but I’m taking a
mini little paint brush, and I’m just gonna dip it into the chocolate and
paint on some little squares on the front.
Since we’ve already got our green melting chocolate heated up, now we’re gonna
make the creeper facesssssssssssssss.
I’m sorry, that was a Minecraft joke!
OK, now to make some creepers!
Same thing, you’re just gonna dip it in until the green hits the lollipop.
Pull it straight up, let the excess green drip off, then you’re just gonna
do this to as many creeper faces as you want to make!
Just melted the red chocolate, and now we’re gonna make some TNT blocks!
Wait till the red touches the lollipop stick, and then pull it out.
Now you’re just gonna do that to the rest of your TNT blocks.
Last but not least I just melted the pink melting chocolate to make little
Minecraft piggies. And you can make whatever designs you’d like, these are just
the ones that I’m making today, but you can make anything!
The little, the little chickens, or the little sheep, whatever you’d like.
I just melted the pink melting chocolate to make little Minecraft piggies.
Same deal, you’re just gonna dip them in until the chocolate hits the pop.
And now we’ve got all of our candy bar pops dipped, we’re going to decorate! This is one of my favorit things!
So in my hands I’ve got green and black AmeriColor writing gourmet pens,
they’re edible ink!
So, first we are going to decorate our green pops, to look like the
creeper faccccccccccccce!
Now to decorate our TNT block, all you’re gonna need to do is, heat up a
little bit of your white melted chocolate, and get one of your little paint
brushes again. And then you’re just going to paint a strip all the way
across the top. Then you’re gonna take your black edible pen and write TNT
on top once the chocolate has dried.
Last, but not least, we’re gonna be making the Minecraft piggies, we’re gonna be
using white and black chocolate for the eyes, and then we’re gonna be taking a
little paintbrush, and using a little bit of pink food coloring to make the
little pixels.
Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom!
Ta-da!
Here are the Candy Bar Minecraft Pops that we made today, they were so fun and
easy! Just perfect for parties!
I designed 4 of them, but you can pick anything that you’d like.
I did creeper faces, Minecraft pig, grass blocks and TNT. But you can make little
sheep, or cake, or little chickens, whatever you’d like!
And, this is a really fun idea for displaying them, if you don’t want to leave
them on this big foam block.
I just took a glass cup, filled it with Jelly Beans, and you just, take your
little candy pop, and you just wiggle him in there.
Boop!
Oooooooh it’s so cute!
I will be posting lots of pictures of these candy pops on my Facebook, Tumblr,
Twitter and Instagram.
And if you guys make these or any of your own versions, please send me

out of seeing your baking creations.
