Blondie Sticks

We honestly didn't think blondie bars could be improved. That is, until we dipped them in chocolate and served them like state fair food on a stick. If you've always wanted to make blondies into a dressed-up party treat, a quick dunk in white or bittersweet chocolate and a handful of nuts or sprinkles is the key. Of course, serving them on a stick amps up the fun factor even more than just enjoying them as finger food.

Strawberry Shortcake on a Stick

We can't resist a cute mini dessert—especially when it's on a stick. The layers of goodness in these strawberry shortcake pops make them even better than the classic recipe. Best of all, you can mix up these dessert skewers to add a layer depending on your favorite part. Love strawberries? Add another slice! Want extra cream? Go for it!

Boozy Mocha Pops

Yep, we even found a way to turn your morning cup of joe into a one-handed dessert.

To really ramp up the mocha flavor, drizzle the finished pops with melted dark chocolate and a sprinkle of chocolate chips.

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Bites

Cinnamon rolls meet caramel apples. Our favorite traditional dessert on a stick idea is teaming up with a sweet brunch favorite, and the result is a mouthwatering treat we never knew we needed (but will definitely now be making all the time). Regardless of the season, we'll be lobbying to serve this frosted treat for dessert at least once a week.

Pumpkin Pie Pops

Sometimes plain old pie slices just won't cut it. If you want to bring a little extra fun to your holiday feast, or if you're craving a taste of pumpkin pie outside the normal season, these mini pumpkin pie pops are the answer to your dessert wishes. To make them look like mini pumpkins, just use a pumpkin-shape cookie cutter to shape the piecrusts.
