New England Patriots Super Bowl Treats
by Meg Moynahan
When we stumbled upon a blog post for New England Patriots Pops over at Mega•Crafty, we knew we'd found a Super Bowl treat our readers would love. A Pat's fan after our own hearts, Meg came up with this oh-so-sweet — not to mention adorable — way to support the home team, and she kindly shared her instructions on how to make them with us. Thanks, Meg!
Instructions to Make Patriots Pops
To make these pops, I used pre-packaged cereal treats.
They were the perfect shape and size. And buying them rather than making a batch myself allowed me to get right to the decorating. (But you could make a batch and cut them into rectangles. Or better yet, use a shirt cookie cutter if you have one!)
After unwrapping all my cereal bars, I cut one bar into the pieces that I used to make the sleeves. One bar makes enough sleeves for four jerseys.
For the main body of each shirt, I used a whole treat and cut a "V" shape out of the top for the neck. Then I attached the arms to each side. It's amazing how these cereal treats will stick together and be molded like clay. I used the parts that I cut out of the neck to fill gaps and areas that didn't stick.
Then I stuck in the lollipop sticks. Dipping them into a little melted white chocolate candy melts helps them hold better.

Good idea. I'm stealing it for my Steelers parties Black and Gold. I understand being a fan but I hate the Pats, hate the Ravens the most
