Strawberry Shortcake Pops

Y’all, it just goes without sayin that things taste better in pop form.  I mean, there’s just something festively scrumptious about eating a pint sized portion of a delectable treat.  Soooo, tonight we rounded out a lovely evening of slip n sliding and bbq chicken pizza with Strawberry Shortcake Pops made from the last of our farm fresh berries.

Here’s the skinny:
– I whipped up one batch of shortcakes using the recipe on the back of the Bisquick Heart Smart box.  I dropped the dough by the slightly less than tablespoon full on a cookie sheet and baked for just 6 minutes.  The recipe made a dozen of these mini shortcakes.
– Once cooled, I slid a shortcake into each push pop container.  I topped with our fresh picked strawberries (macerated in just a pinch of sugar because they were already so perfectly sweet) and a dollop of light whipped cream.
– As for the push pop containers, I lucked out with mine on one of those deeply discounted deal a day sites last year.  But this is the official site.
