Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 12 Oreo cookies
Chocolate Coatings
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 1 cup milk or dark chocolate chips or candy melts
- Red or pink candy melts for decorating
Other
- 12 lollipop sticks
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreos: Carefully twist the Oreo cookies apart, ensuring the cream stays on one side for easier assembly.
- Insert sticks: Insert a lollipop stick into the cream side of each Oreo. If needed, add a small amount of melted chocolate to help secure the stick. Then place the other half of the cookie back on top and gently press together to reassemble the cookie.
- Freeze: Place the Oreo pops in the freezer for 5 minutes. This step helps the cookies firm up for easier dipping.
- Melt chocolates: Melt the white chocolate chips and the milk/dark chocolate chips separately according to their package directions, typically using a microwave or double boiler method.
- Dip Oreos: Dip each Oreo pop thoroughly into the melted chocolate of your choice, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off to avoid pooling.
- Decorate: Place dipped pops on a parchment-lined tray. While the chocolate is still wet, decorate with Valentine’s Day sprinkles or drizzle melted red or pink candy melts over the top for a festive look.
- Set the chocolate: Let the pops set at room temperature until fully hardened, or refrigerate them to speed up the setting process.
- Serve or gift: Serve the Oreo pops wrapped in cellophane for gifting or arrange them on a decorative platter to enjoy at your Valentine’s gathering.
Notes
- For easier assembly, use double-stuffed Oreos which provide more cream to secure the sticks.
- Get creative with your decorations by using colored chocolates, edible glitter, or heart-shaped candy pieces to personalize each pop.
- Make sure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before dipping to achieve an even coating.
- Freeze the Oreos just long enough to firm up but not freeze solid to prevent cracking during dipping.
- Wrapping in cellophane individually keeps the pops fresh and makes a lovely gift presentation.
