Instructions
1
First, prepare your Oreo cookies by gently holding them. Carefully slide a popsicle stick into the cream filling, ensuring that it doesn’t puncture through to the other side. For easier insertion, consider placing the cookies in the microwave on defrost mode for about 10 seconds prior to adding the stick. Once prepared, lay the cookies on a plate and place them in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
2
While the cookies are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave by heating it on 70% power for 1 minute, then stir and heat for another 20-30 seconds until fully melted.
3
Once the chocolate is melted, remove the cookies from the freezer. Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the dipped cookies on a sheet of greased wax paper.
4
Now comes the fun part! Decorate your chocolate-covered Oreos with your choice of chopped nuts, colored sprinkles, shredded coconut, or miniature candies like M&M's or Reese's Pieces. Be creative!
5
After decorating, place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate has fully set. Once set, you can carefully wrap each pop in plastic wrap and tie with a bow, making them perfect for gift-giving or enjoyed as a tasty treat.
