Growing up, Dumbo was always one of my favorite Disney movies, so when I heard Disney was bringing the adorable baby to life through  Tim Burton, a director who always brings so much personality to the screen, I figured we would be in for a treat.

So to celebrate the release of the Dumbo Blu-Ray-DVD-Digital HD Combo Pack we made Dumbo Surprise Pops!

How to make Dumbo-inspired “Surprise” Pops: A sweet treat inspired by the movie Dumbo

I love making movie-inspired treats and crafts for the kids to enjoy before family movie night.

Dumbo is no exception and this surprise sweet treat is sure to put a smile on everyone’s faces.

My kids helped make this fun treat and yes, it would make a perfect Dumbo/Circus themed addition to a party table too.

Ingredients required to make Dumbo inspired “Surprise” Pops

Store-bought Mini Rice Krispies Treats

Honey roasted peanuts

Red sugar sprinkles

White mini bead sprinkles

Red and White striped mini cupcake wrappers

Lollipop/cake pop sticks

To make the Surprise Pops:

1. Take two mini Rice Krispies squares and gently shape each square into the shape of the bowl.

2. Carefully place a few honey roasted peanuts into the bowl-shaped depressions in each of the squares.

3. Now carefully place one square over the other ensuring the peanuts stay inside the two squares.

4. Gently seal the sides, with your fingers and once done delicately mold the sealed squares into the shape of a ball.

5. Once done, roll the ball in red sprinkles and then the white bead sprinkles.

6. Place the “Surprise” ball into a mini cupcake wrapper.

7. Finally, gently drive a lollipop stick into the bottom of the wrapper and halfway through the “Surprise” Pops.

Now pass your finished pops around and watch everyone take a bite.

SURPRISE!!

I’m sure those honey roasted peanuts hidden inside weren’t an expected find.

I promise, your family/friends won’t stop with just that one pop!

This would definitely be Dumbo approved, peanuts and all!
