Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Pops
- 20-24 Oreo Cookies
- 24 4-inch Lollipop Sticks
Candy Coating and Decoration
- Candy Melts in red, bright pink, and bright white (enough to coat 24 pops)
- Sprinkles: jumbo hearts, mini hearts, and sugar pearls
- 3 Microwave-Safe Cups
- Disposable Candy Piping Bag (optional, for drizzle decorations)
- Parchment Paper
Instructions
- Prepare the Surface: Line a baking sheet or any flat surface with parchment paper to place the finished Oreo pops later. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Separate and Prepare Oreos: Gently twist apart each Oreo cookie so that the creme filling stays intact on one side. Use a spoon or knife to carefully scrape the creme filling off the other half of the cookie.
- Insert the Lollipop Sticks: Take one half of the Oreo with creme filling and insert a lollipop stick about halfway into the creme layer. Then, press the other cookie half firmly back onto the stick, re-sandwiching the creme filling.
- Melt the Candy Melts: Place the red, pink, and white candy melts separately in three microwave-safe cups. Microwave each in 30-second intervals, stirring well between intervals until the candy melts are smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat to avoid burning.
- Coat the Oreo Pops: Dip each Oreo pop into the melted candy melt color of your choice. Ensure the pop is fully coated and allow any excess coating to drip off. Place the coated pops upright on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Sprinkles: While the candy coating is still wet, immediately decorate each pop with a combination of jumbo heart sprinkles, mini hearts, and sugar pearls for a festive look.
- Decorative Drizzle: For added decoration, fill a disposable piping bag with a contrasting color of melted candy melts, snip a tiny corner, and drizzle over the coated Oreo pops. If a piping bag is not available, use a spoon to drizzle the candy melts.
- Set the Pops: Allow the Oreo pops to set and harden at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the coating is firm and dry.
Notes
- Be sure not to overheat candy melts to maintain smooth texture and avoid burning.
- You can use any color of candy melts and sprinkles to personalize the pops for different occasions.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner snipped off works well for drizzle decorating.
- Store Oreo pops in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and coating texture.
- Handling Oreo cookies gently when separating will keep the creme intact for easier stick insertion.
