- Using a 1½ tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out even portions of the dough and roll into a ball. Transfer each of them to an appropriately sized dish for the fridge lined with parchment paper.
- If using candy sticks, dip each of them ½ inch down into the melted chocolate, then insert the sticks into each of the cookie dough balls. Transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes to allow them to harden.10 candy sticks

- Place the dish with the covered pops back in the fridge to chill for 1 hour or until the chocolate has hardened.

Notes
- Don't have any candy sticks? Alternatively you can use a fork to dip each of the cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate and sprinkles. Use a spoon to help release the fork from each of the dipped cookie balls.
- Concerned about eating raw flour? Simply microwave it for 1 minute and 15 seconds until it reaches 160° to kill any harmful bacteria.
