I made some brownie pops for a friend the other day and ended up with a few bare pops leftover. I thought about what I could do with them, and realized that "The Smurfs" just opened in theaters(Aug. 3). I couldn't resist attempting some smurf pops! I was up at the midnight hour working on them.
Don't look too closely...the candy melts ended up kind of gritty and my fondant work definitely has room for improvement, but I still think they are kind of cute:)
The Smurf brownie pops are pretty simple to make...
Start by making the brownie pops as instructed HERE. Add some blue food colorimg (I used a combination of Wilton sky blue and royal blue) to the white vanilla candy melts (I reheated some from about a week ago-maybe that was part of the "gritty" problem). I shaped the ears and hat with fondant* and added them to the head while the icing was still wet. Also add the mini m&m nose and icing eyes (store-bought) at the same time. Wait until the icing is completely dry and then add the smurfy smile with an edible marker.
TA DA, you will end up with smurf pops!
*I tasted the store-bought fondant and ended up spitting it out:( I highly recommend making your own fondant!

Hi
ReplyDeleteI made my own fondant with marshmallows and i love how it tastes. I made so much red fondant that i need to make something red ASAP before it goes bad. Maybe some red smurfs... I love your smurfs pops even I don´t like smurf...
Cheers
I hope you write your own cookbook some day. I'm always amazed by the wonderful ideas you come up with!
ReplyDeleteOmg, these are the cutest thing! I love smurfs!
ReplyDeleteSuper adorable!!!
So adorably cute. Love them. I can't tell from the pics that they are gritty looking so I will have to believe you.
ReplyDeleteSue! Beyond cute and so creative - love, love, love the smurf pops!
ReplyDeletehow smurfy! (i definitely grew up watching them!)
ReplyDeleteThese look perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo so smurfy. I posted a link on Edible Crafts!
ReplyDeletethose are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteawww those smurfs are too cute!!
ReplyDeleteThese are ADORABLE!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! I was wondering what kind of coloring you used with the chocolate. If it's the regular kind (it will have water which will seize the chocolate) and not the oil based one, that may be the problem for the gritty look.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work, thanks for sharing your ideas.
That is the perfect way to celebrate the resurgence of the smurfs. So cute!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love that last picture! So darling and hilarious. xo have a great weekend, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI so should have known this was you. lol I clicked on the link from Inspiration Friday without even looking cause they were so darn cute and who's blog should open up...but yours. of course. These are just darling!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Too cute! Love these!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GENIUS!!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! My oldest 29 now - had a smurf costume for dance when she was little, they are back! These are too cute. I agree, homemade fondant is so easy and so delicious and storebought is just ghastly! I love their little eyes - just magical.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... those are cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. What a wonderful, creative job! Saw your post on Sweets for a Saturday!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I am loving the fondant on cake pops too :)
ReplyDeleteOoh great idea Sue and they're so creative! I have some leftover "pop" cake too. I should make something with it rather than just eat it :P
ReplyDeleteHehehe these are amazing! I love the smile on the smurf with half of his face bitten off! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE!! GO YOU!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are just too adorable! Being a fan of smurfs since I was a child, and considering my nephew loves smurfs and 'ble' in general, the ruined chocolate cake I froze just may become smurf pops :) BTW, looked back on all I missed since my plate has been full the past month, and wow to all of your beautiful creation! I must make a key lime pie shake ASAP!
ReplyDeleteLove your fun ideas. These bring back such great memories of my childhood when I used to get up early on Saturday mornings to watch Smurfs. Thanks for linking them up to Sweets for a Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute!! I love them!
ReplyDeleteSmurfantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love these!! I'm going to have to try it out. If your candy melts get gritty you can add a little bit of oil to it and it should go back to normal.
ReplyDeleteOMG, they are so cute!!! Just stumbled over your blog and I love it! Thanks for sharing all those super yummy things!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mickymunchkin (btw, I like your blog's name *smile*)
So darn cute, Sue! We want to go see this movie! Love the Smurfs. How fun would these be to surprise my kids.
