Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Oreo cookies (classic or flavored)
- 12 lollipop sticks or paper straws
Chocolate Components:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) white chocolate or candy melts (red, pink, or white)
- ¼ cup (50 grams) semi-sweet or milk chocolate (optional for drizzling)
Decorative Ingredients:
- Valentines Day-themed sprinkles, nonpareils, or edible glitter
Instructions
- Carefully separate the Oreo cookies, gently inserting a lollipop stick into the cream center. Press the cookie halves back together, using a dab of melted chocolate to secure the stick if needed.
- Create a smooth chocolate coating by melting white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning. Prepare separate bowls for different colored coatings.
- Immerse each Oreo pop completely into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off by gently tapping the stick against the bowl’s edge. Position the coated pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Embellish the wet chocolate surface with festive Valentines Day sprinkles, edible glitter, or decorative chocolate drizzles. Use a spoon or piping bag to create intricate patterns with contrasting chocolate colors.
- Let the decorated Oreo pops set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. For faster setting, place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Present the finished treats by displaying them in a charming glass jar, wrapping individually in clear treat bags with coordinating ribbons, or arranging artfully on a decorative serving platter.
Notes
- Keep cookies intact while inserting sticks by applying gentle, even pressure to prevent cracking.
- Prevent chocolate seizing by ensuring no water droplets enter the melting bowl and using low microwave heat.
- Create smooth chocolate coating by maintaining proper melting temperature and stirring consistently during the process.
- Customize pops for dietary needs by using gluten-free Oreos or dairy-free chocolate alternatives for various preferences.
