 Father's Day Pops

Microwave 1 cup white baking pieces and 2Tbs. canola oil on high for a minute.  Stir and microwave in 10-second intervals until melted.  Place 12 doughnut holes, one at a time, in  mixture, using a lollipop stick to turn until covered.  Skewer each hole and remove, allowing the excess to drip off.  Put the end of the stick into a tall glass as a holder.  chill about one hour.  Use red gel color to add laces.
