How to Make Valentine’s Day Oreo Pops
Prepare the Oreos
Carefully twist each Oreo apart, keeping the cream on one side. Insert a lollipop stick into the cream side. If needed, secure it with a little melted chocolate. Place the other half of the cookie back on top and gently press. Freeze the Oreo pops for 5 minutes to make dipping easier.
Melt the Chocolate
Melt white and milk/dark chocolate separately according to package directions. Use a microwave or double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Dip and Decorate
Dip each Oreo pop into the melted chocolate, covering completely. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the pops on a parchment-lined tray. Decorate immediately with sprinkles, or drizzle with red or pink candy melts for extra flair.
Set and Serve
Let the pops set completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for faster setting. Serve individually wrapped in cellophane for gifting, or arrange on a platter for your Valentine celebration.
Tips for Success
- Use double-stuffed Oreos for easier assembly and more creamy filling
- Freeze pops briefly before dipping to prevent chocolate from sliding off
- Decorate immediately after dipping for best results
- Get creative with edible glitter, heart-shaped candies, or multi-colored chocolate drizzles
Equipment Needed
- Microwave-safe bowls or double boiler for melting chocolate
- Parchment paper-lined tray
- Lollipop sticks
- Spoon or small spatula for drizzling chocolate
Recipe Variations
- Chocolate Lovers: Dip in dark chocolate and drizzle white chocolate for contrast
- Mini Pops: Use mini Oreos for bite-sized versions
- Double Chocolate: Dip in milk chocolate and coat with sprinkles mixed with crushed Oreos
- Holiday-Themed: Use colored sprinkles for other occasions (e.g., pink for birthdays, red/green for Christmas)
Serving Suggestions
- Display in a mug or vase for a fun Valentine’s centerpiece
- Package in cellophane bags tied with ribbon for gifting
