Recipe: Canada Day Treats

Canada Day treats! Looking for a quick and easy recipe to add to your long weekend BBQ, or perhaps your upcoming camping trip? Well, you can stop looking! Let’s get dipping.

You can use any cookies you like, but I used gluten free Oreos and Glutino vanilla (actually, I think they were lemon) wafers. The chocolate is gluten free, too – yet you’re looking for chocolate candy melts, or any chocolate that will melt well. Okay – let’s get to it.

Ingredients

• 12 cookies
• 1/2 cup of candy melts
• 1-2 tablespoons of red and white sprinkles

First, lay out some parchment paper and mix the sprinkles in a bowl. You want move quickly once the chocolate is melted.

Melt the chocolate according to the directions and have your cookies ready to go. Once the chocolatey goodness is ready, delicately dip the cookie (using a spoon if you need to, to ensure coverage) and then dust with sprinkles. Lay the cookie on the parchment paper to set.

Keep repeating with all the cookies – and try not to snack on them as you dip!

They should only take about 15 minutes to set – but you can lay them out or put them in the fridge if you’ll be serving them outside.

When it comes to sprinkles, you can’t go wrong. I’ve used a mix of different sprinkles before – check out these pink cookies – the sprinkles are so vibrant.

Snack time!

Don’t these just look so festive? You can make them with any colours you like – Bulk Barn (here in Canada) sells individual sprinkle colours so you can create your favourite team colours and serve cookies that way, too. So fun!

Well, there you have it! One recipe for Canada Day treats – it’s quick, easy, and sure to please.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a Happy Canada Day! Bye for now.
