New Year’s Oreo Pops
Supplies:
- Oreos
- Treat sticks (plastic or paper)
- White vanilla candy melts
- Variety of New Year’s sprinkles
(***Note: I loved working with the Wilton’s candy melts because the candy didn’t harden up too quickly and allowed plenty of time for me to take my time covering each Oreo properly vs. rushing through it.)
Directions:
Gently twist the Oreo so that it pulls apart as evenly as possible.
Push the top of a treat stick down into the cream part of the Oreo.
Melt a few candy melts according to the instructions on the packaging.
Add a small dab of the melted chocolate on top of the stick and cream.
Put the Oreo back together, pressing down gently so that the candy will help the Oreo to stick back together well. (Otherwise, it can easily fall apart without enough of the melted candy.)
Repeat to create the desired amount of Oreos pops.
Melt the remaining candy melts (enough to cover the amount of Oreo pops you’ll be working with.)
While you can dip the Oreos into the melted candy, I found it was easier to spoon the melted candy onto the Oreo and then smooth the chocolate around the Oreo with the spoon vs. dipping the Oreo.
Set the Oreo pop on a pan lined with parchment paper. Add sprinkles to the pop.
Repeat this process and use a variety of sprinkles on each pop.
If you’d like for the candy to harden quickly, place the pops in the freezer for a few minutes.
Then, serve!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of Oreos for this recipe?
Feel free to experiment with different flavors of Oreo, such as Double Stuff Oreos, Golden Oreos, or even the various limited edition flavors. Each type brings a unique twist to your Oreo pops.
What if I don’t have candy melts? Can I use white chocolate chips instead?
You can use white chocolate chips as an alternative. For smoother melting, consider adding a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable oil. Keep in mind that chocolate chips may harden faster than candy melts.
How do I store Oreo pops, and how long will they last?
Oreo pops should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They typically last for about 1 week, making them a great make-ahead treat for special occasions.
My Oreo keeps falling off the stick. What am I doing wrong?
Ensure you’re adding enough melted candy to the cream center before reassembling the Oreo. This acts like glue. Also, let the candy set for a bit before dipping the whole Oreo into the melted candy.
Can I freeze Oreo pops?
Oreo pops can be frozen. Wrap them individually in cling film and store them in a Ziplock bag. They can be frozen for up to a month. Just allow them to come to room temperature before serving.
Is it possible to make these Oreo pops without a microwave?
You can melt the candy melts or white chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop. Just ensure that the water does not touch the bowl containing the chocolate and stir continuously for even melting.
Can kids help make these Oreo pops?
This is a perfect recipe for kids to help with, especially in decorating with sprinkles or drizzling with melted chocolate. Just supervise them during the melting process.
How can I make these Oreo pops for a specific holiday like Halloween or St. Patrick’s Day?
Easily customize your Oreo pops with themed sprinkles, colored candy melts, or specific decorations like candy canes for Christmas or black icing for Halloween. The possibilities are endless!
Do I need any special equipment to make these?
No special equipment is needed. Basic kitchen tools like a microwave-safe bowl, parchment paper, and a baking sheet are sufficient. If you have a cookie scoop or a small spoon, these can be helpful but are not necessary.
