Equipment
- Lollipop Sticks
- Sturdy paper straws
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Microwave-safe bowls
- Narrow, deep cup
- Zip-top bag
Ingredients
- 18 to 24 Oreo cookies Double Stuf recommended for easier assembly
- 1 cup white candy melts or high-quality white chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk or dark chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips
- 18 to 24 lollipop sticks or sturdy paper straws
- Valentine's Day sprinkles and small heart candies
- 1 to 2 teaspoons refined coconut oil or vegetable shortening optional, for smoother dipping
Instructions
- Prep Your Station: Gently twist each Oreo apart, carefully keeping the creamy filling mostly on one cookie half. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy handling.
- Secure the Sticks: In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt about 2 tablespoons of white candy melts in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into this melted chocolate, then gently press it halfway into the cream-filled side of an Oreo. Carefully place the other cookie half back on top, pressing lightly to secure the stick. Repeat this for all your Oreos.
- Chill and Set: Place the prepared Oreo pops on your lined baking sheet and chill them in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes. This step is super important to make sure the sticks are nice and firm for dipping!
- Melt the Chocolate Magic: Separately melt the remaining white and milk/dark candy melts (or chocolate chips) in microwave-safe bowls. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely smooth. If the chocolate seems a bit too thick for dipping, stir in 1 teaspoon of refined coconut oil or shortening per cup to achieve a beautifully smooth, dippable consistency.
- Dip and Decorate: Pour some of your melted chocolate into a narrow, deep cup – this makes dipping much easier! Hold an Oreo pop by its stick and dip it straight down into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully covered. Lift it out and gently tap the stick against the cup's edge to let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Sprinkle the Love: Immediately place the dipped pop onto your prepared baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet and glossy, generously decorate it with your Valentine's Day sprinkles and heart candies. Work with a few pops at a time so the chocolate doesn't set too quickly. Repeat this process with the remaining pops and chocolate colors.
- Optional Drizzle & Final Set: For an extra fancy touch, spoon a small amount of a contrasting melted chocolate into a zip-top bag, snip a tiny corner, and artfully drizzle it over your pops once their main coating has started to set.
- Serve Sweetly: Chill the finished pops for another 5-10 minutes to lock everything in place. For the very best snap and creamy taste, let them come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delightful homemade Valentine's treat!
