How to Make Halloween Oreo Pops

These little treats are fun to eat & even more fun to share as gifts!  What child doesn’t love helping with SPRINKLES!  

Lots and lots of sprinkles!

Supplies Needed

• 1 bag chocolate cream-filled cookies
• lollipop sticks
• white chocolate chips
• SPRINKLES in Halloween colors and even Halloween shapes
• wax paper

Directions

Step 1

Insert a lollipop stick into each Oreo.

Step 2

Melt the white chocolate according to package directions.

Step 3

Spoon melted chocolate over Oreo pops until entire pop is covered.   Make sure the white chocolate touches goes up against the stick, otherwise it will slide out.

Step 4

Lay pop on wax paper, & while still melty, let the kids sprinkle Halloween or Fall themed sprinkles all over.   What a fun mess!

Tip: I like to put them in the freezer to set the chocolate faster, and once they are solid, wrap them in plastic sleeves for gift giving.  

Be sure to save some for yourself though.  

They are sure tasty!
