Flying Bat Halloween Cookie Pops

October 6, 2013 by Cara

There are a couple of places that make me squeal like a little girl. No, I’m not even kidding–on my way to said places, I have actually screamed like a fan-crazed tween. One of them being Michael’s craft store. I tell you, one of the reasons why I had a difficult time adjusting to living in L.A. was due to the fact that there were no good craft stores nearby. Well, the Universe must have heard my bitching because one fabulous Michael’s store opened up very close to where I live recently and I find myself cruising the aisles almost on a daily basis.

I find that the creativity begins to possess my brain when I’m there–I’m like the “Los Angeles Medium for the Spirits of Crafty Gluten, Egg, and Dairy-Free Baking Ideas.” (I will have to work on the name if I plan on making a reality show out of that). I typically have to bring a pad of paper and pen with me because the ideas start to go overboard and wouldn’t you know it! These Flying Bat Cookie Pops are one of the ideas I received while I was there so I guess I can say that this recipe was brought to you by our sponsor Michael’s.

    You are a girl after my own heart! Halloween is absolutely my favorite holiday, and I think it’s safe to say I could spend the better part of a day–hell, maybe even a week!–in Michael’s! Keep up the spooky good work!!

    My son said, “Crowmp” as he maked a chomping face toward the screen. I think that about sums it up.
