Seashell Oreo Pops!

Posted on July 26, 2017 by Ruthanne

Turn your Oreos into a celebration at the beach! Sand Dollars, Sea Scallops and cute little fish. So much delicious fun!

There’s just something about the beach that makes my heart happy! Have you ever been to Sanibel Island in Florida? It’s right by Fort Meyers. Growing up, our family spent nearly every Thanksgiving at a little condo on the beach there. They have some of the best seashell hunting in North America. As a little girl, I had a shell identification book and a big pail, and I spent hours and hours combing the beach for shells. Sand dollars were one of my favorites!

This past spring, I used chocolate covered sunflower seeds in several projects, and thought about how much they remind me of the little centers of sand dollars. So I had to try! I also made some sea scallops using…wait for it… Wheat Thin crackers to make those little shell points (and they are a super yummy salty-sweet combo!) 🙂

Here is how we made these little Oreo pops:

Fish Oreo Pops are from an earlier recipe here on Easybaked. You can find them by clicking here.

These were featured in our cookbook for kids, Life Is Sweet: 12 Baking Devotions for Kids.

Sand Dollars:

Ingredients: (makes about 24 pops)

One package of Double Stuff Oreos
2 (12 oz.) bags of Wiltons Candy Melts in white
Chocolate covered sunflower seeds (I used blue)
24 Lollipop sticks
Small pearl decorating sprinkles
Small treat bags and ribbon, if you want to package them up to give away.

Directions: (Need a little visual help? Click here.)

Carefully twist apart all Oreo cookies. Do this slowly and gently- and expect that some will break.
Melt about 1/4 cup white candy melts using a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between until completely melted and smooth.
Use a lollipop stick to make an indentation in the white filling of an Oreo.
Dip the end of the stick into the candy melts, spread a little on top of the white filling and then press the stick into the indentation.
Place the top of the Oreo back on and allow the candy melts to harden and cement the cookie back together with the stick inside. I like to stick these in the freezer to get nice and hard.
While you wait, melt your remaining white candy melts in the same manner as previously.
Once the cookies are firmly hardened back together, pick one up (using the stick) and dip it into the bowl of white candy melts.
Spoon candy melts over the top and sides.
Gently lift the Oreo out of the candy melts, and tap the stick on the side of the bowl to allow the excess melts to drip off.
Slide the bottom of the Oreo against the edge of the bowl to remove excess candy melts.
Gently set the coated Oreo on clean parchment or wax paper.
Immediately, set the sunflower seeds as shown at the center of the cookie.
Place pearl sprinkles as shown, between sunflower seeds.
Serve as-is, or package up for giving away by sliding each cookie into a little treat bag and tying with a ribbon.

Scallops:

Ingredients: (makes about 24 pops)

One package of Double Stuff Oreos
3-4 (12 oz.) bags of Wiltons Candy Melts in various colors
A few wheat thin crackers
24 Lollipop sticks
A toothpick to pull through colors and make design.
Small treat bags and ribbon, if you want to package them up to give away.

Directions: (Need a little visual help? Click here.)

Carefully twist apart all Oreo cookies. Do this slowly and gently- and expect that some will break.
Melt about 1/4 cup candy melts (any color) using a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between until completely melted and smooth.
Use a lollipop stick to make an indentation in the white filling of an Oreo.
Dip the end of the stick into the candy melts, spread a little on top of the white filling and then press the stick into the indentation.
Set 1/2 of a Wheat thin cracker on top of candy melts at the top (so just the points poke out when the top is back on).

Place the top of the Oreo back on and allow the candy melts to harden and cement the cookie back together with the stick inside. I like to stick these in the freezer to get nice and hard.
While you wait, pick your “main color” and melt those candy melts in the same manner as previously.
Also melt smaller amounts of two to three other colors. Spoon these into zip top bags and seal them up. Wrap them in a warm towel to keep them melted and smooth.
Once the cookies are firmly hardened back together (about 10 minutes in a freezer), pick one up (using the stick) and dip it into the bowl of candy melts.
Spoon candy melts over the top and sides.
Gently lift the Oreo out of the candy melts, and tap the stick on the side of the bowl to allow the excess melts to drip off.
Slide the bottom of the Oreo against the edge of the bowl to remove excess candy melts.
Gently set the coated Oreo on clean parchment or wax paper.
Immediately, clip a corner off a bag of colored candy melts and pipe a couple curved lines on top of Oreo.
Repeat these lines with other colors and then place bags back inside warm towel.
Use a toothpick to pull lines up from the bottom through these colors (see photos)

Sprinkle with a little gold sugar and add a candy pearl if you want.
Repeat this process with remaining Oreos. You may need to repeat the melting process for the small bags of colors. If you need to do this, try making one of these colors your “main” color and decorating with the others!
Serve as-is, or package up for giving away by sliding each cookie into a little treat bag and tying with a ribbon.
ENJOY!

My thoughts: I experimented a little with the sand dollars. I had some butterscotch candy melts that I used with brown sunflower seeds- they are cute too- but I love the white ones best! I was really happy with how these turned out, and they really aren’t too difficult to put together- especially if you have made Oreo pops before. I hope you get a chance to try these for your next beach party! Happy summer to you!!!! ~r

Honeycomb Oreo Pops- with Bees!

Posted on July 2, 2017 by Ruthanne

Adorable Honeybee Oreo Pops are sure to make your summer picnics more fun!!!

There is something so fun about using bees and honeycomb as a dessert decoration. I originally wanted to use a chocolate transfer with a honeycomb design on these- but I couldn’t find the transfers available in the states (except for in bulk- which I definitely did NOT need!). I decided to experiment with bubble wrap instead and they turned out SO cute. Goodness- I love these. When I gave them away to friends they all asked how I made the honeycomb. I thought it would be obvious that I’d used bubble wrap, but all they could see was the honeycomb until I explained.

These are maybe one of the easiest Oreo pops I’ve done. You really need to try them!

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

(If you have never made Oreo Pops before, check out our tutorial here.)

INGREDIENTS: (makes about 24 pops)

One package of Double Stuff Oreos
2 bags of Wilton’s candy melts in yellow
1/4 cup of Wilton’s candy melts in white
Candy bees (I got mine here)

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 bubble wrap (try to find a small bubble variety- I used 1/8″ bubbles) into squares just big enough to cover the top of an Oreo.
Melt yellow candy melts in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between until melted and smooth.
Spoon yellow melts over the top of each chilled Oreo pop, making sure all sides are completely covered. Tap stick against side of bowl to remove excess candy melts and slide bottom against edge of bowl to take excess off.
Set coated pop on a sheet of parchment paper and gently press bubble wrap on top.

Repeat this with all Oreo pops and allow candy melts to harden completely (refrigerate to speed process up)
Gently peel bubble wrap off top of Oreo (I thought it might pop and leave plastic behind, but it came off perfectly!)
Use remaining candy melts to “glue” a bee on top. Simply use a toothpick or small knife to wipe a bit of melted yellow candy on the back of a candy bee, and set it on top. Allow this to harden.

Place each Oreo into a little cello bag, and tie with ribbon for a cute summer treat that will keep for weeks in a cool place! ENJOY!!!!

My thoughts: SO FUN!!!! Oreo pops are always fun- no matter what they are decorated with- but these Oreo pops are just especially cute! Goodness. I love them! Perfect for the end of a picnic or for a honeybee themed party! I hope you get a chance to try these out! Enjoy! ~r

Smoke Bomb Oreo Pops!

Posted on June 17, 2017 by Ruthanne

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!

Spring Flower Oreo Pops!

Posted on May 6, 2017 by Ruthanne

Make a bouquet of Oreo flowers for mom this Mother’s Day!

This is the third Oreo Pop recipe I’ve used these cute little sunflower seeds in this spring- and it might be my favorite! The fun bright colors just make you smile. Tie them up in little cello bags with pretty ribbon and they make the perfect Mother’s Day treat next weekend!

You’re smiling aren’t you? Just guessing… 🙂 I absolutely LOVE these- and the color combinations are only limited to the colors you can find in the sunflower seeds. Mine are a combination of Trader Joe’s and JoAnn’s Fabric ones. You can get them online- or maybe even at your grocery! Different companies make different colors. The JoAnn ones gave me those pretty teal blue and shiny purple ones. I just used little pearl sprinkles for the centers.

Here’s how we made these fun little pops:

(If you have never made Oreo Pops before, check out our tutorial here.)

INGREDIENTS: (makes 24-30 Oreo pops)

One box of Double Stuff Oreos
1/4 cup of Wilton’s Candy Melts in white.
Wilton’s Candy Melts in a variety of colors (you’ll need at least 2 bags of them)
Chocolate-covered sunflower seeds
Edible pearl sprinkles in a variety of colors

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).
Melt one color of Candy Melts in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between until melted and smooth.
Gently dip Oreo in 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 a pearl sprinkle at the center and then gently place sunflower seeds around the pearl in the shape of a flower (as pictured). Allow Candy Melts to harden completely.
Repeat with other colors of Candy Melts.
Store in a sealed container for 2-3 weeks. You can also tie them individually in small cello bags and store for the same timeframe. (These are a perfect treat to mail to mom or grandma!!!!)
Enjoy!

My thoughts: I will never pick a bouquet of flowers without thinking of my mom 🙂 She never had a summer day where there wasn’t a huge bouquet of fresh-cut flowers from her garden sitting in the center of the kitchen table. This is her third Mother’s Day in heaven, but I know these would have made her smile if she was here.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. I love you, and miss you!

A New Year’s Collection of Top Recipes on Easybaked!!

Posted on December 31, 2016 by Ruthanne

Happy New Year, friends! One of my favorite parts of marking the end of one year and the beginning of the next is looking back at all the things that made the previous year wonderful! One of the really fun things to look at is my statistics for this blog. A LOT of you visited us here this year! Thank you!!! I am always fascinated by which recipes really took off and became HUGE hits- and I’m always a tiny bit disappointed by the ones that I thought were AMAZING, that didn’t really catch anyone’s attention.

I have lots of fun recipes lined up to share with you in January, but this week- as we welcome 2017- here are the top picks from 2016.

Just click on a photo to see the recipe- and enjoy!!! ~r

Viewed 203,655 times in one month alone! The cupcake version of these is really popular too.

Seriously, that cheesecake is maybe the best recipe on this blog. You have GOT to try it!!!! 🙂

When this was 1st posted, there were NO other Oreo Pops on the internet- so I like to think that the Oreo Pop craze started here! We certainly have had fun creating all sorts of them for every holiday!

This recipe was from a failed audition for The Great American Baking Show, and a new friend!

This is the most recent big hit on Easybaked- and it is really easy to make!

So, those were the top 5 in all-time views this year… but what were my favorites from 2016? These three!

new-years-collection8

This is the star of 2016. It is SO yummy and got rave reviews every time I made it. A massive layer of cookie dough in the middle of a cake? Does it get any better than that???

2016 was also my year to turn those healthy little Oreo Thins into amazing stuffed Oreos! These marshmallow ones… oh my! We also stuffed Oreos with Key Lime Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Cookie Butter!

These win my personal “cutest” recipe award for 2016! I loved making them and making cute little stickers to seal the bags I gifted them in too! So fun!

I’ve been asked many times what my all-time favorite recipe on Easybaked is. I’ve got SO many favorites- but if I had to pick one, it would be my Caramel Fudge Brownies. I love them because they are my mom’s famous mint brownies with my favorite caramel added in place of the mint- and they are just the BEST chocolate fix ever.

I hope you have enjoyed this round-up of recipes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Apple Oreo Pops!

Posted on August 26, 2016 by Ruthanne

These adorable Oreo pops are a perfect back-to-school treat. Add hearts to send a little love in the lunchbox- or some worms to get a few giggles!

I hate to even say the words….but fall is coming. I love summer so much, that when I start to see school busses out on the roads I just cringe. Fall has some pretty fun foods though….! One of our family-favorites is apples. I grew up in Michigan, and we have the best fall apples. I loved trips to the orchard to get cider and doughnuts- and these little Oreo pops are perfect to kick off the fall season.

You can make them with hearts and tie them up in cello bags to send a little love…

Or you can add a few caramel worms to your apples to give them an extra “Ewwww” feel- maybe for Halloween?? 🙂

Either way, these are an easy and fun fall treat that keeps for weeks when wrapped up in a cello bag.

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

INGREDIENTS: (makes about 24 pops)

One box of Double Stuf Oreos
24 lollipop sticks
2 bags of Wilton’s Candy Melts in red, yellow or green
About 5 tootsie rolls
About 1/4 cup of fondant, colored green (you can make a small batch of this or just purchase a box of Wilton’s)
A leaf cookie or fondant cutter
Heart sprinkles (as desired to decorate)
5-10 Kraft caramels to make worms if desired.

DIRECTIONS:

(if you have never made an Oreo Pop before, our how-to is here)

Twist apart all of your Oreos.
Melt a small amount of candy melts (<1/4 cup) in the microwave in 3o second increments, stirring between until smooth.
Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the melts, and press into white filling of Oreo. Place other half of cookie back on top and press together.
Place Oreo and stick on a cookie sheet. Repeat this process with remaining Oreos, and then freeze all Oreos until firm (10-15 minutes).
While Oreos chill, make stems, leaves and decorations.
Make stems by rolling tootsie rolls out and cutting into short pieces.
Take colored fondant and roll it out. Use leaf-shaped cutter to cut out 24 leaves.

If you want wormy apples, simply unwrap a caramel, roll it out into a thin rope using clean hands, and press little lines in it using a small knife or toothpick. Cut them into little pieces to add as if they are crawling out of each apple.

Melt one bag of Candy Melts using method from above.
Once Oreos are chilled, hold with stick and dip into Candy Melts until completely coated.
Tap on side of bowl to get excess off, and drag across lip of bowl to scrape excess off back of cookie.
Set on parchment paper to harden.
Immediately set a tootsie roll stem on the top, along with a leaf.
Add any other decorations (hearts? worms…?)
Melt and use second bag of Candy Melts when you are finished with the first one.
Allow Oreos to harden up (at least an hour) before tying each one up in a bag (or putting them in an air-tight container for storage).
Enjoy!

My thoughts: You just can’t go wrong with Oreo Pops. They are one of my favorite things to make because you have fun treats handy for awhile afterward! These are pretty easy- you might hesitate a little with using fondant if you have never used it before- but you should just give it a try! I don’t cover cakes in it or anything crazy- but I like it for little decorations here and there. My recipe and some tips are here. Otherwise just buy a box of the white fondant! It doesn’t taste as good, but for the little bit you are adding here, it doesn’t matter. I really hope you get a chance to try these! Happy almost-fall to you! ~r

Fourth of July Dessert Ideas!

Posted on July 1, 2015 by Ruthanne

Bomb Pop Cupcakes!

Oh my, I love the fourth of July! I love the picnics, and pool parties, and cookouts, and fireworks…and the time with family!

My parents have always (like always, for as long as I can remember!) had a giant pool party for the fourth and invited our entire extended family for burgers and brats and volleyball and sunshine….and for a competitive display of our best “at home” fireworks we could find, later in the evening. I have so many fun memories of chasing fireflies and waving sparklers with my cousins (that are all grown with kids of their own now!). This year is different. For starters, mom isn’t here to orchestrate the complexities of the celebration. The house is in boxes and bags- ready to show to whomever might be interested in buying, and the pool and yard are immaculately kept. Pool toys and floats are all deflated and either sold or put away. Sometimes I sit on the back porch and watch the fireflies and remember all the laughter and fun.

I know that these times are not forever over. This year is different, but once dad settles into his new place there will be other celebrations and family times over the fourth. This year though…my heart wasn’t in the “create something new and fun” place. So instead, I thought you might enjoy a collection of some of my previous red-white-and-blue recipes. You can click on the photo or the title, to be taken to the recipe.

Jeepers Creepers Oreo Pops!

Posted on October 24, 2014 by Ruthanne

These scared little pretzel monster Oreo pops are not only adorable but a perfect salty and sweet combination!

Because I love desserts and I obviously blog about them all the time, my friends are often pointing out cute ideas they find online. That was the case with these cute little pretzel monsters. A friend found them in Family Fun Magazine and posted a picture on my Facebook wall. As soon as I saw them I knew they belonged on an Oreo pop! Aren’t they so cute?!?

They are also very easy, and a great make-ahead treat for fall parties!

Here’s how to create them for yourself: (printable recipe)

INGREDIENTS: (makes about 26-30 pops)

One box of Oreo Double Stuff cookies
30 lollipop sticks
1 bag of Wilton’s Candy Melts in black or purple (or both, if you want both colors!)
Small amounts of Wilton’s Candy Melts in other halloween colors (for the “eyes”)
Round sprinkles
30 Flipz white chocolate covered pretzels

DIRECTIONS: (Need a visual for making Oreo pops? Click here.)

Make pretzel monsters first by laying all 30 Flipz out on a piece of parchment paper.
Melt a small amount (maybe 1/3 cup) of any Candy Melt color for the eyes, and spoon into a small zip top bag.
Zip bag closed and clip a corner off. Pipe color into top two holes of pretzel and gently set a sprinkle “iris” in place.
Repeat with other colors and allow eyes to harden completely.
For Oreo pops, carefully twist apart all of the Oreo cookies
Using one of the lollipop sticks, make an indentation in the white filling of each cookie.
Melt the about 1/4 of the black or purple Candy Melts in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
Dip the end of one stick into the melted candy, drizzle a little in the center of the cookie filling and then gently press it into the indentation made.
Place the top of the cookie back on and allow candy melts to harden (20 minutes or so), cementing the cookie back together with a stick inside. (Freeze for 5-10 minutes to speed this process up)
Melt remaining black or purple Candy Melts in the same manner.
Holding the stick, lower the entire Oreo into the bowl of melted Candy Melt, spooning it over the top and sides to cover it completely.
Allow the excess to drain off and gently place covered Oreo on a piece of parchment paper.
Immediately place a pretzel monster on top and allow the Oreo to harden completely.

My thoughts: These are cute and yum yum yummy! I like the cute little surprised looks on the pretzel monsters, and they taste GREAT! Wrap these up in cello bags with cute ribbons and you have a fun party treat to share! Enjoy! ~r

Rainbow Oreo Pops~ and a celebration of all things OREO!!!

Posted on March 4, 2014 by Ruthanne

You’ll feel like you’ve struck gold when you bite into one of these fun rainbow Oreos. A perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s day and SO easy to make!

Prepare yourself.

National Oreo Day is just two days away. This year, the momentous occasion falls on Thursday, March 6th. There isn’t a store-bought cookie that I like better than an Oreo. All the fun flavors (cookie dough, peanut butter, birthday cake, mint, marshmallow…) are great- but I like mine just plain double stuf (I just realized they left an “f” off of stuf last week!) I’m not alone in my passion for this little cookie- over 362 billion cookies have been sold since it was first introduce in 1912!

This week I created these little rainbow Oreo pops in honor of the day (and to give you a head start on your St. Patrick’s Day ideas!)

They are incredibly easy to make. Once your Oreo has been dipped, those rainbow stripes are just painted on with gel food coloring.

Here’s the recipe: (for a printable recipe click here, for a picture tutorial click here)

INGREDIENTS:

One package of Double Stuf Oreos
2 (12oz.) bags of Wilton White Candy Melts
24 Lollipop sticks
Food color gels in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red -I used these

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 (10 minutes or so), cementing the cookie back together with a stick inside.
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 white chocolate to drain off and gently place covered Oreo on a piece of parchment paper to harden.
Allow white chocolate to harden and cool completely.
Using a small paint brush (you can get one specifically made for food that won’t shed bristles- like a Wilton 7-Piece Decorating Brush Set), start in the middle of the cookie using the yellow, and paint a stripe across. Paint a yellow stripe on all cookies.
Wash and dry your brush and paint the other colors, working from lightest colors to darkest.
Allow the “paint” to dry for several hours.
Eat and enjoy!!!

Aren’t they fun?????

My thoughts: You can see that I sprinkled a little bit of edible glitter on top when I was done. You have to do this before the paint completely dries. It makes them very fun and sparkly- more fun and sparkly than you can see in the pictures! Just an option, if you want to add it. You can also see that I didn’t agonize over painting perfect lines and not going over the edges. I really liked the messy paintbrush look of these. Put on your artist hat and have some fun!!!
