Smoke Bomb Oreo Pops!

These adorable smoke bomb Oreos will be the hit of your July 4th parties!

It’s hard to believe that July is just around the corner– but it is! I love summer, and making fun patriotic treats always reminds me of pool parties and days at the beach on Lake Michigan 🙂 I made smoke-bomb brownies last year, and they were such a hit that I decided to turn them into Oreo pops this year!

Cute, yummy and SO easy to make ahead and have ready for all your summer celebrations!

Here’s how we made them: (printable recipe here)

INGREDIENTS: (makes about 30 pops)

• One package of Double Stuff Oreos
• 2 bags of Wilton’s candy melts in red
• 1/4 cup of Wilton’s candy melts in white
• Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel licorice in red/white/blue (or licorice strings of another variety)
• Large star sprinkles
• Tiny star spinkles

DIRECTIONS:

• Gently twist apart all Oreos.
• Melt white candy melts in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between until melted and smooth.
• Dip end of a lollipop stick into the white chocolate, spread a little on the top of the white Oreo filling and then press the stick flat into the center of the filling.
• Place top of Oreo on, and set on a cookie sheet. When all Oreos have sticks inserted, pop these in the freezer for 15-20 minutes (until they are nice and firmly set).
• While these chill, cut licorice strings into about 30 (1 inch) segments.
• Melt red candy melts in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between until melted and smooth.
• Dip the end of a licorice string into the red melts and then set flat against a large star sprinkle and allow this to harden- this will basically “glue” the star onto the end of the licorice. 
• Gently dip chilled Oreo in red candy melts, using a spoon to cover all sides. Tap stick against side of bowl to drain excess. Set on parchment paper.
• While candy melts are still soft, set end of licorice into the top of the Oreo and sprinkle with tiny stars.
• Allow everything to harden up, and then slide each pop into a small cello bag and tie with ribbon (alternatively, store in an airtight container with parchment paper as layers between).
• Enjoy!

My thoughts: These are easy little treats to make- and they have OREOS inside- so they are delicious too! (If you have never made Oreo Pops before, check out our tutorial here.) ENJOY!
