Halloween Lollipops

Oreos are probably my family’s favorite store-bought cookie. They even make special Halloween Oreos these days. Adding melted chocolate to what is already a crowd favorite puts this treat in a whole new category. Plus, you and your family get to decorate them however you want with icing, sprinkles or other goodies. 

These are super easy to make anywhere you can melt a little chocolate, and they will quickly become a holiday favorite. For Halloween, I like to dye them orange (pumpkin) or leave them white (ghost), but there’s no limit to all the different scenarios for Halloween or any holiday. 

Ingredients

  • 6 Oreos, (Halloween, Double Stuf or your favorite flavor)
  • 6 lollipop sticks or skewers
  • 1 cup white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Orange food coloring
  • Green icing
  • Parchment paper or baking sheet

Directions

  1. Remove one side of the Oreo cookie and press a lollipop stick or skewer into the filling. Place the cookie back on top and gently press and twist to help hold the stick in place. Place the parchment paper or baking sheet on a plate.
  2. In a small to medium saucepan, add the white chocolate and coconut oil and very gently melt them together. A double boiler works well for this too but is not really necessary. Add the food coloring and stir until you have an even color that you’re happy with.
  3. When the chocolate and coconut oil are melted and the right color, dip and twirl the Oreos into the chocolate to fully coat each one. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the saucepan and then place your Oreo lollipop on the parchment or baking sheet to cool. If it’s warm out, you can put them in the refrigerator or cooler for a few minutes.
  4. After they’ve cooled you can decorate them with the icing for a spooky and very yummy treat.

This is a treat that the whole family will love and is great for any special dessert occasion!
