Little H is all about Legos right now and what better way to celebrate her birthday than with a Lego Party?! There are ton of great ideas out there on how to throw the perfect Lego Birthday Party and I'll be sharing with you the ideas I used for games, decorations, food, etc., as well as our own creations. First up, a tutorial for our super quick and easy Lego Pops! Little H mentioned wanting "Lego Pops" on her treat table, I wasn't thrilled...have you ever tried to make perfectly rectangular cake pops? Ack. However, I found the perfect "cheat" with Little Debbie Nutty Bars and these little goodies came together in just a few minutes. That's my kind of treat!

Cut Nutty Bars in half then carefully poke a hole in the center of each with a sucker stick. (I put a little mark about 1" down a sucker stick to measure how deep I wanted the holes).
Next, melt some white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted. Dip sucker sticks into candy melts and poke into the holes in the Nutty Bars. This will give you a nice, solid pop that won't break apart.
Dip one side of Smarties candies into melted chocolate and set on top of Nutty Bar. You'll need 6 Smarties for each Lego Pop. When set (about 3 minutes), dip into various colors of melted Candy Melts (whatever colors you want for your par-tay!)
Tap gently a few times on the side of bowl to remove excess candy melts and set on wax paper to harden. If you have too much chocolate on your pop and it's forming a "skirt", simply pick it up and move to a different spot on your wax paper.
For the display, I simply put some floral foam in boxes that I had on hand and filled the top with green crinkle paper. Super cheap and easy! We'll be sharing more Lego party games, decorations, etc., in the weeks to come as well as some St. Patty's treats! Happy Cooking!
