Ingredients

Directions

Assemble the Oreo Pops

1. Prepare the Oreos:
   • Gently twist the Oreos apart.
   • Press a lollipop stick into the filling of each Oreo, then sandwich the cookies back together.
2. Secure the Sticks:
   • Melt a small amount of chocolate or candy melts and use it to “glue” the lollipop stick inside the Oreo. Let it set for 5 minutes to ensure the stick stays in place.

Dip and Decorate

3. Melt the Chocolate:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Add food coloring to white chocolate if desired.
4. Dip the Pops:
   • Holding the stick, dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Let the excess drip off.
5. Decorate:
   • Place the dipped Oreo pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately add Valentine’s Day sprinkles, sanding sugar, or edible glitter before the chocolate sets.
6. Set the Pops:
   • Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Package or Serve

7. Optional Packaging:
   • Wrap each Oreo pop in a clear treat bag and tie with a festive ribbon for gifting.
