Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies (about 2 sleeves)
- 1 package (12 oz / 340 g) white chocolate melts or white candy coating
- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
- Pink candy melts or pink colored white chocolate (optional, for decoration)
- Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles, edible glitter, or heart candies
- Lollipop sticks or cake pop sticks (36 sticks)
- Wax paper or parchment paper for drying
Instructions
- Carefully twist apart the Oreo cookies into halves. Remove or save the cream center if desired.
- Insert a lollipop stick into one half of each Oreo. If the cookie feels delicate, gently press the two halves back together with the stick inserted to secure it.
- Place the white chocolate melts or candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and fully melted. Optionally, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to thin the chocolate.
- Dip each Oreo pop into the melted chocolate, covering the entire cookie. Use a spoon to assist or gently tap off excess.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your Valentine’s themed decorations for a beautiful finish.
- For extra flair, drizzle melted pink candy melts or pink colored chocolate over the coated pops.
- Stand the Oreo Pops upright in a styrofoam block or on wax paper to dry completely, about 15-20 minutes.
- Wrap each pop in clear cellophane and tie with a ribbon if gifting.
