Today I want to teach you guys how to make these oh-so-simple Oreo cookie pops. These Oreo pops are so easy to make, and relatively quick to crank out as well, making them the perfect fun party treat for any of your family’s special occasions!

How to make Oreo cookie pops

These simple Oreo pops are easy breezy. Here’s a basic outline of how to make them:

• Gently break apart an Oreo sandwich cookie, exposing the centre of the Oreo. Dip the end of a lollipop stick into some melted chocolate, and then gently press it into the Oreo filling. Top with the other half of the cookie so that the entire Oreo is stuck together with melted chocolate and the candy stick in the centre.
• Melt the chocolate in short bursts in a microwave-safe bowl or in a double boiler on the stovetop until smooth and melted. Pour the chocolate into a tall glass or measuring cup.
• Dip the entire cookie into the the chocolate coating, and let the excess chocolate drip off the end over the top of the cup. 
• Decorate the dipped cookie with sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, or the decoration of your choice, allowing it to set on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or wax paper.
• Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature until firm, and trim the excess chocolate with a sharp knife (if necessary). Package your sweet treats in clear cellophane with a tie twist to seal and ribbon for extra decor.

What to do if the Oreos break

This is a really easy mistake to make, and thankfully it’s one that is not hard to fix. After all, chocolate coating can cover a lot of mistakes! If you break an Oreo cookie while you’re making your pops, the best way to fix it is just to “Glue” the pieces back together with melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set, and then proceed with coating the Oreo as before.

The best Oreos to use for this tutorial

I used regular Oreos for this tutorial, but you can use any other kind (or another type of sandwich cookie) as well. Since the Oreos have a thin layer of filling on the inside, it might even be easier to use double stuff Oreos for this tutorial, since the cake pop stick/lollipop stick might fit into the filling better. 

Make your Oreo cookie pops “Extra” with this easy tip

You can make your Oreo cookie pops extra special with a thin layer of extra filling on the inside, provided that the filling will set to be quite firm. To do this, use a piping bag to add some chocolate or vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache, or cream cheese filling to these cookies before sandwiching the cookies on either side of the lollipop stick. Allow the cookie pops to set until firm in the fridge before dipping the whole thing in your melted candy coating/chocolate coating.

What kind of chocolate to use for Oreo cookie pops

The simplest chocolate to use is easy, no-tempering-required candy melts or chocolate coating wafers. I recommend getting a higher quality brand like Girardelli for this, but you can use any kind of coating chocolate with good results.

I would not recommend using chocolate chips or white chocolate chips, since those types of chocolate will be thicker and heavier and will not coat your cookie pops with a smooth finish.

A great edible favor/gift idea

How to package cookie pops

I always like to recommend clear cellophane bags, with a white twist tie and a bit of satin ribbon or curling ribbon as one of my favourite ways to package desserts like this; it’s a simple, pretty way to keep them fresh and clean!

Can you make other types of cookie pops with this tutorial?

Yes! This tutorial works well with any crunchy sandwich cookie with good structure (anything that holds together really well). 

You could also try this tutorial with two classic sugar cookies or chocolate sugar cookies, sandwiched together with a thin layer of chocolate or vanilla buttercream.

How long do cookie pops last?

Check the package of your Oreos for an expiry date to look for a recommended amount of time to keep these… but due to the nature of the ingredients involved here, these cookies will easily last for several weeks at cool room temperature.

Storing homemade cookie pops for freshness

Cellophane bags are remarkably good at keeping the freshness of the cookies intact, provided that they are tightly sealed with a twist tie or some other kind of fastener. You can also store your cookie pops in an airtight container or cookie tin at room temperature for several weeks (as mentioned before, according to the recommended expiry date on the cookie container).

You will need:

• Oreo Cookies (I used regular Oreos)
• Lollipop sticks or wooden pop sticks
• Dark chocolate melting wafers (or milk chocolate wafers or white chocolate wafers, according to your preference
• Sprinkles (optional)
• Double boiler, glass bowl and pot, or a glass bowl in the microwave
• Tall glass or mason jar
• Parchment paper (or wax paper)
• Baking sheet
• Sharp knife
• Packaging supplies, such as clear cellophane bags, with a white twist tie and a bit of satin ribbon or curling ribbon

In this tutorial, I used nonpariel sprinkles.
