CHOCOLATE POPSICLE CEREAL TREATS IS A POOL SIDE PARTY IDEA
My favorite Chocolate Popsicles Cereal Treat. Yayyy, I wanted to try chocolate popsicles last year itself. But due to my lack of experience in making popsicles and demoulding them.
I was hesitant in experimenting with new recipes. So was sticking with the basic easy popsicle recipes.
Have been crazy after popsicles not that I like it to eat it. The making and demoulding part and to see the popsicles come out clean.
It would make me jump in joy. And coming to the clicking part, it is surely the most challenging to click popsicles at least for me.

To start this pool party dessert you’ll need to cut your straws into thirds. You can choose to do a variety of paper straw colors or stick with one. You’ll only need three straws to make 12 treats.
Insert one straw at the bottom of each rice cereal treat.
Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Once your buttercream starts to form and is smooth with semi-stiff peaks.
Add some brown gel food coloring to make the color richer. Mix until completely combined.
Scoop your buttercream into a piping bag with Wilton frosting tip #8 attached. If you don’t have that tip you can use a similar-sized round tip. Or you can simply cut a small at the end of your decorating bag.
Frost the top of each rice cereal treat. Then covering it almost in its entirety:
pipe out the bottom so that it looks like it’s “dripping.”
You can even add some “drops” if you’d like!
Use a metal spatula to smooth out the buttercream frosting.
