Cookies and Sticks
- Oreo Cookies – as many as desired
- 4” Lollipop Sticks – one per Oreo
Candy Coating and Decorations
- Candy Melts – in red, bright pink, and bright white; about 1 cup total
- Sprinkles – jumbo hearts, mini hearts, and sugar pearls to decorate
Tools
- 3 Microwave-Safe Cups
- Disposable Candy Piping Bag (optional, for drizzle decorations)
- Parchment Paper
- Prepare Oreos and Insert Sticks: Twist and carefully separate each Oreo cookie into two halves. In a microwave-safe cup, melt a small amount of any color candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring after each. Dip one end of a lollipop stick into the melted candy, then sandwich the stick between the two Oreo halves to secure it. Let the candy cool and harden completely; placing the cookie pops in the freezer for a few minutes can speed this up.
- Melt Candy Coatings: Fill a microwave-safe cup about two-thirds full with red candy melts. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well between each interval until fully melted and smooth. Repeat melting process for bright pink and bright white candy melts using separate cups if desired.
- Dip Oreo Pops in Candy Melts: Dip each Oreo pop completely into a chosen color of melted candy, making sure the cookie is fully coated. Gently tap off any excess candy and place the dipped pops onto parchment paper to set and harden.
- Decorate While Wet: While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle the Oreo pops with jumbo hearts, mini hearts, sugar pearls, or any desired decoration to add a festive Valentine’s Day flair.
- Optional Drizzle Decoration: If desired, melt additional candy melts and place them in a disposable piping bag. Drizzle contrasting colors over the hardened pops for extra decoration and visual appeal. Let the drizzle set before serving.
Notes
- Freezing the assembled Oreo pops for 5-10 minutes helps set the stick before dipping and speeds cooling after dipping.
- Use room temperature Oreos to prevent condensation when covering with candy melts.
- If candy melts become too thick, stir in a small amount of vegetable oil to thin.
- Store finished Oreo pops in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crunchiness.
- Great for Valentine’s Day gifts, party treats, or a fun family baking project.
