Each cake pop is placed on a white stick and decorated with a small red heart shape on the green surface. The cake pops are laid on a wooden board, with a few whole Oreo cookies and extra small red hearts scattered around in the background.

Ingredients

15 Oreos
12 ounces vibrant green candy melts

1 tablespoon coconut oil
Large red heart sprinkles

Instructions

Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for the Oreo pops.
Step 2: Carefully pull one side off each Oreo and arrange the separated halves on the baking sheet.

Step 3: Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for about 3 minutes, stirring every 15-30 seconds to prevent burning until fully melted.
Step 4: Stir in the coconut oil thoroughly into the melted candy melts for a smoother coating.
Step 5: Dip each sucker stick about half an inch into the melted chocolate, then insert it slightly below the center of the Oreo filling on the separated half. Press the other half of the Oreo back on to sandwich the stick securely.

Step 6: Chill the assembled Oreo pops for about 5 minutes until the sticks are set.
Step 7: Pour the remaining melted chocolate into a tall cup and dip each Oreo pop completely into the chocolate to cover fully.
Step 8: Gently tap the stick on the side of the cup to remove excess chocolate, then tap the bare portion of the stick on the counter to even out the coating at the bottom.

Step 9: Place the dipped Oreo pops back onto the parchment-lined sheet and chill for 10 minutes until the coating hardens.
Step 10: Transfer any remaining melted chocolate into a piping bag and cut a small tip at a 45-degree angle.
Step 11: Drizzle the chocolate over each Oreo pop and immediately press a large red heart sprinkle onto the upper-right corner while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 12: Chill the Oreo pops for another 5 minutes to set the drizzle and sprinkles. Enjoy your festive Grinch Oreo Pops!

Tips & Variations

Use white chocolate candy melts tinted green with gel food coloring if vibrant green candy melts are unavailable.
Swap the red heart sprinkles for mini M&Ms or edible glitter for a different festive look.

Make sure to stir the candy melts regularly while microwaving to avoid burning and ensure smooth dipping.

Storage

Store the Oreo pops in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 5 days. Refrigerate if your home is warm to keep the candy coating firm. Allow to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of candy melts?

Yes, you can use regular chocolate, but candy melts are easier to work with because they harden smoothly at room temperature without tempering.

How do I keep the sticks from falling out?

Make sure to dip the sticks in melted chocolate before inserting into the cream filling and press the Oreo halves firmly together. Chilling before dipping helps the stick set securely.
