8 cups corn puff cereal (we used Kellogg's Corn Pops)
0.5 cup plus light
0.3 cup chocolate morsels white
12 ounce chocolate morsels white
12 sticks lollipop (12-inch)
Equipment
bowl
frying pan
baking sheet
cookie cutter
wax paper
microwave
measuring cup
lollipop sticks
Directions
Pour cereal into a big bowl, and set aside.
Combine white chocolate morsels, corn syrup, and butter in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 2 minutes; stir until smooth.
Drizzle white chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring to coat. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Spray your hands with cooking spray, and press the mixture into an even layer.
Let stand 15 minutes.
Cut cereal mixture into stars with a 4-inch cookie cutter.
Place stars on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Cover and chill in the refrigerator 1 hour or until firm. (Store excess cereal mixture in an airtight container for snacking.)
Assemble the wands: Have a grown-up insert a lollipop stick into each star.
Place 1/3 cup white chocolate morsels in a zip-top freezer bag. Partially seal bag, and set upright in a small microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave at HIGH 20 to 30 seconds or just until chips melt. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag to create a small opening.
Drizzle melted chocolate over stars, and sprinkle with sugar sprinkles, if you'd like.
Let stand until firm. Store wands in an airtight container up to 1 week.
Tip: You'll find lollipop sticks at an arts and crafts store.
