Ice Cream Kiddie Pops

Kiddies will cheer you for these. Poke 4 wooden spoons in a pint of ice cream and quarter it. Dip in chocolate coating, then in nuts. Label handles with the names of all takers. You can make these and keep them in your freezer.

Note: For chocolate coating use one 5-oz. milk chocolate bar and 1/4 c. shortening melted together, cool until just warm. Spread one side of ice cream square with chocolate. Dip lower half of that side in nuts. Repeat with remaining sides and bottom.
