Directions and Instructions
- Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Get a rolling pin and crush them into fine crumbs. This is a great opportunity to release some stress while having fun!
- Next, melt the white chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until they are fully melted and smooth. The chocolate should be glossy and dreamy!
- To ensure that your chocolate is easy to work with, stir in the coconut oil. This little addition helps thin out the chocolate, making it perfect for dipping.
- Now, it’s time to prepare the pops! Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted white chocolate, then insert it gently into the top of each Oreo cookie. This step helps the stick stay in place.
- Following that, dip each Oreo pop into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s completely covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl—you want it to be nicely coated but not too thick!
- While the chocolate is still wet, generously sprinkle your favorite colorful sprinkles over the top. This helps create a beautiful burst of color!
- Place the decorated Oreo pops upright on a piece of wax paper to set. It’s like giving them a cozy place to rest while they harden.
- Once the chocolate has completely hardened, your adorable Oreo pops are ready to be enjoyed or beautifully packaged as gifts!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to get creative with the decorations! You can use themed sprinkles for different holidays or special occasions. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider drizzling dark chocolate over the white chocolate for a beautiful contrast. These pops also look lovely when tied with a ribbon as a cute present!
Cooking Techniques
This recipe involves two simple techniques: melting and dipping. Melting chocolate requires patience, as you want to avoid overheating. Using short bursts in the microwave ensures the chocolate stays smooth. Dipping might take a bit of practice to achieve that perfect coat, but with a little attention, you’ll be crafting beautiful pops in no time!
FAQ
Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate? Absolutely! Milk chocolate will provide a different flavor and look, but it will be just as delicious.
How long do these Oreo pops last? If stored in a cool, dry place, these pops will remain fresh for about a week. Just keep them in a sealed container to maintain their best flavor and texture.
Can I make these pops ahead of time? Certainly! These are perfect for making ahead of your special occasion. Just prepare them a day or two in advance and store them properly.
