Easy Oreo Pops!

Chocolate-covered Oreos on a lollipop stick– perfect for any festive occasion!

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

  • Carefully twist apart all of the Oreo cookies.
  • Using one of the pop sticks, make an indentation in the white filling of each cookie.
  • Melt the Candy Melts in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  • Dip the end of one stick into the melted white chocolate, drizzle a little in the center of the white cookie filling and then gently press it into the indentation made.
  • Place the top of the cookie back on and allow white chocolate to harden (5 minutes or so), cementing the cookie back together with a stick inside.

Here’s some pictures (worth a thousand words I hear!):

That last picture is intended to make you feel better about breaking a few cookies in the process.  I believe the Oreo package contains 30 cookies and I made 23 pops….7 “failures”.  The hardest part is simply twisting the cookies apart without the top cracking.  Just be gentle 🙂

DIRECTIONS (continued):

  • Holding the stick, lower the entire Oreo into the bowl of melted white chocolate, spooning it over the top and sides to cover it completely.
  • Allow the excess chocolate to drain off and gently place covered Oreo on a piece of parchment paper to harden.  
  • Top with confetti sprinkles immediately before the chocolate hardens.
  • Eat and enjoy!!!


My thoughts: I love Oreos so much that it hurts….and I am on a diet…and there were SEVEN broken cookies.  Sigh.  I just closed my eyes and *smelled* them…who knew Oreos smelled so good??!!  These pops were wrapped up in cute bags and given as Valentines treats– they are MUCH easier to dip than cake pops, which made me happy.  I hope you have a fun occasion coming up and get and chance to try these!   -r

4-28-12:  Just made these for a couple of bridal showers and put them into “bouquets”- SO fun and really easy.  Just make the pops, tie them up in little treat bags with tags (free pdf for the “i do” ones I used : Oreo Pop Leaf Tags) and poke them into floral foam in a cute container.

        A tiny bit of chocolate will not harm a dog, but frequent or large amounts can. My sister in laws Basset Hound ate a huge box of fudge they had just made for Christmas and it cost them a fortune at the Vet’s. She went into renal failure.

        Reply
        • Oh no!!! That only happened to me once- I used a non-Oreo brand and the cream melted. I was determined to make them work, so I froze them until they were hard and then dipped them cold. Worked fine- just a little more work…. Hope this helps!!! The weather is so hot and humid where I am at- makes dipping things more challenging.

  7. I nuked six cookies at a time for 14 seconds, and the tops twisted off easily without breaking. Some of them did crack/break when I was making the indication in the cream. I just used the melted chocolate to piece them back together, so I was able to use the entire package.

      Reply
    • I started with the microwave until my genius husband tried putting the sticks in without chocolate to see if that step could be skipped only to find out that you couldn’t because putting the stick in pops them open! Almost like shucking an oyster, worked perfectly for opening them up with ZERO broken!

    • Absolutely. I usually make these and let them sit out on parchment paper overnight (mainly because I’m too tired to package them up right away!) They will be fine sitting out.

  17. I am thinking of doing these for my son’s wedding in July. I used milk chocolate chips but when I put them in the bag they seemed to melt. Is there a difference using the candy melts? Outdoor wedding and it has been over 100 degrees daily.

    Reply
    • To me, it seems like the candy melts are less likely to melt (they harden much more quickly and have a nice shine)– but with an outdoor wedding I would SO not make these– ANYTHING chocolate will melt at 100 degrees. If you have an indoor place to keep them and hand them out at the end maybe? Otherwise I’d go with something that won’t melt. Good luck– and congratulations!!!

  20. hello!i stumbled upon this recipe when i was looking for easier oreo pop recipes..and i found yours.. was there left over candy after you dipped all the oreos? and what happens if it cools and hardens in the bowl? first timer to make these i am! but i am pretty skilled in the kitchen and i am super excited i can’t believe how easy it is! and the cake pops, i noticed how easy you make it..

    Reply
    • Hi! Yes, there will be a little leftover melted candy. There really isn’t any way around this when you dip something. Toward the end I try to spoon candy over the top and make it go as far as possible as to not waste much. It might cool and harden in the bowl if you take awhile dipping. You would simply pop it back in the microwave for a few seconds until its nice and melted and smooth again. Be patient with yourself– I think it takes a few to get the technique down– but practice makes perfect! 😉

      Reply
  21. i have the silliest question. First let me say I LOOOOVVEE this idea and can’t wait to try it. OK so the thing is…..After you dip the oreo, do you sprinkle both sides with the decoration before you lay it down or just one side? and if so, won’t it mess up? Sorry about the question i really don’t know how to phrase it lol. 🙂

    Reply
    • That’s not a silly question at all! The 1st time I made these I only sprinkled on one side…which was fine! The next times I sprinkled the parchment paper, placed the dipped cookie on top of the sprinkles and the sprinkled the top. It’s not perfect- but it works pretty well at getting sprinkles on both sides 😉

      Reply
      • oh great idea! that was going to be my question too! I made quite a mess on the first one trying to sprinkle both sides, so I quit and only did that one. I’ll try putting the sprinkles on the parchment next time!

  25. How long to you think they will stay fresh if wrapped? Thinking about the Church Bazaar, you think they would stay fresh for 3 or 4 weeks? Or can you freeze them?? Thanks

    Reply
    • Well, I’ve not frozen them before so I don’t know how that would work for you. I can’t think of any reason these wouldn’t keep for a few weeks at room temp though, especially if you are bagging them up. The candy melts are fine for a loooong time, and the cookies could maybe get stale, but since they are coated and bagged I really think 3-4 weeks would be fine. If you try it and find out will you please share so that others can use your tips?

  27. I find that my candy melts are much to thick when melted for dipping – is there a secret to making them more liquid?

    Reply
    • I looked this question up on the Wilton site and they warned that water (maybe still on a utensil or in the bowl?) or heating it too hot can cause it to thicken. They suggest the following: “If coating becomes too thick, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of hydrogenated solid vegetable shortening per 10 oz. of Candy Melts and 2 teaspoons per 12 oz. of Candy Melts.” Hope this helps!!!

    Not sure why everyone is raving that these are so easy to make, it was a nightmare. I followed the directions on how to split them apart and hold the stick in place, letting them sit for 5 minutes. When they were ready, I began dipping them in the melted chocolate and most of them slid right off the stick and fell off….. never again will I attempt these!!

    Reply
    • I’m so sorry they didn’t work out for you 😦 I always feel just terrible when a recipe or technique doesn’t work as planned for someone… It sounds like your chocolate just didn’t harden in those 5 minutes. For anyone else with this problem, try popping them in the fridge for a few minutes to harden that chocolate before dipping. I’m so sorry you were disappointed!!!

      Reply
    • Double stuffed oreos make it easier. Don’t have to twist them apart. Dip the stick in melted chocolate and then insert into the filling.

      Reply
      • Thanks Cathy! I usually use Double Stuff, but my cookies almost always crack when I go to push the stick into the filling. Plus the ones I did get stuck in the middle fell apart when I dipped them. I think that added bit of melted chocolate in the center helps cement the cookie together before dipping… If you are trying this recipe and read this, give it a go! If it works for you, I’m sure it would save time!

  32. I feel like I have now made THOUSANDS of these silly things for Christmas – they make adorable santa hats. I do think the chocolate with shortening – I find that this makes a much smoother “dip” and since it is a bit thinner and I’m dipping twice (once in white and once in red) it makes them not so thick and sickly sweet. Also and I think this is the real trick….don’t use oreos. The generic oreos are much less easy to break and they have less crumbs so my white stayed white much longer.

    • Lol- thousands?!? I’m actually making some tonight- I bet the Santa hats are adorable! Thank you sooo much for sharing your tips- I’m sure they will help people along the way!! Merry Christmas!!!!

    Reply
    • I’m not sure what white cooking chocolate is like in Malaysia, is it tempered? If not, you’d want to do that 1st if you want the pretty shiny finish on the candy. There are a lot of great resources on how to temper chocolate online. If you need some links let me know!!

      Reply
      • hi, im from Malaysia too and goin to do it for my son 1st birthday party this coming saturday.. wat I got is white chocolate compound (this is the name stated on the bag) im not sure is it the same like candy melts as the shape does looks like the one I saw from net. my concern now if I do it one day before the party and without wrapping it will the cookies stale. what if I using cling wrap will it be ok? need some advise here. thank you. 😀

        Reply
        • You can just leave them out on the parchment or wax paper. They should be fine overnight! I hope your chocolate melts work!! It gets so tricky to try international recipes. Lots of experimenting.

          • oh thank you Ruthanne, another question is it ok for me to use baking paper or aluminium foil? sorry for the silly question I have here 😀 many thanks :D.

            • I’m not sure what baking paper is- sounds like parchment paper??, and I’m not sure if aluminum foil will work- the only thing you can do is just try it with one pop and see if it sticks. You just need a non-stick paper for them to harden on.

            • Hi Ruthanne, I have done it on the aluminium foil and it works well too.. thank you for the advise :D.

    • Use a container with a fairly wide base and use floral foam to hold them in place. I made Christmas pops and used a square ceramic pot with a square of foam inside. You can cover the foam with tissue paper first so that its not so visible. Good luck!

  42. So far, this has been an epic fail for me. The heat from the chocolate melts the double stuff & then the whole thing slides down the stick and drops into my hand.

    Reply
    • Oh- I’m so sad you’re having a hard time! I have made these so many times now and never had that happen, I can’t even think why it would. The only thought I have is that maybe once you have the stick set in the middle just pop them in the freezer before dipping? Maybe chilling them beforehand would help? I’ve had sticks fall out before but it was always because I got impatient and dipped them before they were fully hardened. I’ve never had them melt before though….sorry I’m not more help…I hope you find a technique that works for you!!

  48. I just made these, I also put mini oreo halfs as ears for my sons mickey ;mouse themed party this sunday and dipped them in chocolate. i used the candy melts and also used candy melt aid, which helps thin it for easier dipping. I also added some as I went when chocolate would start to harden and I reheated. they came out great! just thought about them going stale but i did cover them in the baggies and tied them.

  50. How does your batch of Oreo pops looks so good?
    I tried doing it once,Froze it and it had the vapor/droplets on them when i brought and left them out on the table.

    Or you don’t freeze them just wrap them once the choco hardens under room temperature?

    Reply
    • If it’s really warm in my house (I’m living in Arizona with no air conditioning right now- so it’s warm!) I will freeze them before I dip them. I think it helps to get that inside chocolate really hard. Once they are dipped I just let them sit out until they are hard enough to wrap. If you need them to harden up fast-if you are in a hurry to wrap them- you can freeze them for just 5-10 minutes. That’s enough to chill them but not freeze them hard. Hope this helps!!

  51. Another site suggested buying double stuffed oreos and instead of taking them apart gently slide the stick into the cream inside the oreo. This eliminates the step of un”screwing” or separating the oreos first. Haven’t tried it, just sharing what I read.

    Reply
    • I have actually tried that and it cracks the cookie nearly every time. I do like using double stuff Oreos though- a little easier to pull apart.

      Reply
      • I use the megastuffed oreos and it helps them to not come apart because there’s so much stuffing. Dip the stick then insert into the middle. I pop them in the fridge for just a few minutes and they don’t move at all when I dip them. I made some Baymax oreo pops and they turned out great!

  53. To any of you who have made these ahead of time, do the oreos get softer after awhile? I made them for the first time recently and they were a big hit, but they were eaten the same day I made them. I myself can’t stand oreos when they’re hard, but like them after they get “stale” and soften up…lol. Any experience with this? Do they soften inside the coating after awhile? Thanks. 🙂

How did you organize the bouquet like that? I bought a mini bucket like that, and I am just not sure how I am going to get the pops to stay in place, and to go up like that, instead of them all being the same height… Please let me know if you can, even is sunday! ahhhh!

    • Sure! I used long sticks, and cut some of them shorter. ( you can also just stick the outside ones in at an angle if they are all short sticks) I stuck a piece of florist foam in the bottom of the container, wrapped in fun tissue. Then I just poked the sticks in- the tall ones at the center. Hope this helps! If you use instagram, send us a picture at #easybaked. I’d love to see how they turn out!

I don’t know the exact dimensions of the bags I use, and I’m actually out right now- I just went hunting so I could measure one for you! I got 200 of them the last time and actually brought an Oreo to the store to measure. You want it roomy so all that coating and decoration will fit.
