Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pack (14) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 12 ounces (340 grams) candy melts (pink, red, white)
Decoration Ingredients:
- Sprinkles
Preparation Tools:
- 12 lollipop sticks
- 1 parchment paper
Instructions
- Transform Oreo cookies into fine, powdery crumbs using a food processor or by crushing them inside a sealed plastic bag.
- Blend the crumbs thoroughly with softened cream cheese, creating a dense, uniform mixture that holds its shape when rolled.
- Carefully form compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter, positioning each on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate the formed balls for 30 minutes to ensure structural integrity and ease of handling.
- Gently melt candy coating in a microwave-safe container, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and glossy.
- Dip each lollipop stick’s tip into melted coating, then gently insert halfway through the chilled Oreo spheres.
- Submerge each pop into the warm candy coating, allowing excess to elegantly drip away, creating an even, glossy exterior.
- Immediately embellish with festive Valentine’s themed sprinkles or decorative elements while the coating remains wet.
- Allow pops to solidify at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes, or expedite the process by chilling in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without large cookie chunks for better binding.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a more uniform Oreo ball mixture.
- Chill the Oreo balls completely before dipping to prevent them from falling apart in warm coating.
- Tap the dipped pop gently to remove excess candy coating and create a smoother, more professional finish.
