Oreo Snowman Pops!

Posted on November 30, 2012 by Ruthanne

These cute little snowmen are easy to put together and make cute stocking stuffers or party favors!

What could be better than an Oreo cookie?? An Oreo cookie dipped in white chocolate and decorated as a fun hat-wearing snowman!

These are really fun. If you’ve tried making Oreo pops already, these will be a breeze for you. If this is your 1st time, you will want to refer to my original Oreo pop recipe to see pictures of these steps. Click HERE to see the tutorial.

INGREDIENTS:

One package of Double Stuff Oreos
2 (12oz.) bags of Wilton White Candy Melts
24 Lollipop sticks
Small amounts of colored Wilton Candy Melts for eyes, nose and hats
24 M&Ms in colors that match your hat colors.
Fun ribbons to tie on as scarves

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.
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.
Melt small amounts (about 2 c. TOTAL) of Wilton candy melts in your hat colors.
Hold coated Oreo over bowl and gently spoon color over top edge of cookie at an angle to make a hat shape. Use spoon to shape this.
Tap cookie over bowl and slide bottom edge against edge of bowl to remove excess.
Gently place an M&M on the cookie- against the melted candy melts and wait a few seconds for it to stick.
Set pop back on parchment paper to harden.
Use a toothpick to add eyes and a nose with Wilton candy melts in black and orange. (If you want to color your white candy melts for these tiny bits of color you can use Wilton Icing Colors in them.)
Allow pops to harden completely and add a cute ribbon to the lollipop stick for a scarf.

You can put these into cute clear cello bags, tie them shut and give them as gifts or put them in a cute jar or basket as a Oreo Pop arrangement for your Holiday party!

The best part???? There’s an OREO inside!!

Enjoy these yummy winter treats!!!!!!

Mummy Oreo Pops for Halloween!!

Posted on October 19, 2012 by Ruthanne

These make me smile– aren’t they cute? I saw the idea on a regular cookie at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe (along with a really cute mummy hot dog idea!) and I immediately thought of my Oreo pops recipe from last spring and decided to turn some Oreos into mummies! It was a little time consuming, but not difficult. I think the results were worth the effort! Here’s how we did it:

INGREDIENTS:

1 package of Double Stuff Oreo cookies
2 bags (14oz) Wiltons candy melts in white
About 24 4 inch lollipop sticks
One package of Wilton Candy Eyeballs
One box of Wilton Pure White Rolled Fondant
Little candy bags and ties (if you want to package them up to give away!)

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.

(For a picture tutorial on this click here)

Before dipping the entire cookie, unwrap your fondant, split it in half and immediately place one half in an air-tight zip-top bag (you will only use half of the fondant).
Roll the remaining fondant out with a rolling pin as directed on the box. Using a sharp knife, cut strips (about as wide as an oreo) in the fondant and then cut narrow strips across (see photo)

Now it is time to dip your Oreo pops (you may need to put your candy melts back in the microwave for a few seconds to remelt them)
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.
Immediately place two eyes on the front and gently lay strips of fondant back and forth across the cookie. It took me a little bit to figure out a pattern that looked good and worked– copy mine if you want!!
Allow everything to harden and place in treat bags with ties.

My thoughts: These are a little time-consuming, but if you enjoy the process (I do!) and you have a free afternoon (I did!) these are just really fun to put together. The smiles when people see them make all that work worthwhile! Enjoy! ~r
