Melt a small amount of the white candy melts in the microwave; this will be used to dip the sticks into the pops to act as a glue. Dip the sticks in the candy melt, and place the stick in the center of the pop taking care not to push the stick any further and half way.

Melt the candy melt in your chose if color with approximately a tablespoon of coconut oil or shortening or vegetable oil. Make sure to mix the mixture well once it is melted. Take the cherry cake pops and begin dipping the pops into the candy melt mixture.

    Disco dust is not edible. It’s plastic craft glitter and it should not be put on food that will be eaten. It should be used only on decorations that will be removed before eating. Doesn’t matter that it’s non toxic, it’s still not edible.

    For things that will be eaten, edible glitter made from gum arabic, sanding sugar, or gelatin should be used.

      Yes, you can find edible glitter in the cake section of your local craft store. That is what I use on my edible food products, I can’t speak for Sarah (the author of this post).
