Grinch Oreo Pops Recipe

Introduction

These Grinch Oreo Pops are a fun and festive treat perfect for holiday celebrations. Covered in vibrant green candy coating and topped with red heart sprinkles, they add a playful touch to any party spread. Plus, they’re simple to make with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

• 15 Oreos
• 12 ounces vibrant green candy melts
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• Large red heart sprinkles

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for the Oreo assembly.
2. Step 2: Separate each Oreo by gently pulling one side off and arrange the bottom halves on the lined baking sheet.
3. Step 3: Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for about 3 minutes, stirring every 15-30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
4. Step 4: Stir in the coconut oil thoroughly to ensure a glossy, smooth coating.
5. Step 5: Dip each sucker stick about half an inch into the melted chocolate, then press it into the center of the Oreo filling, just under halfway inside. Replace the top Oreo half onto each stick.
6. Step 6: Chill the assembled Oreos in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
7. Step 7: Pour the remaining melted chocolate into a tall cup. Dip each Oreo completely into the chocolate, fully coating them.
8. Step 8: Gently tap the stick on the side of the cup to remove excess chocolate, then tap the bare stick’s bottom on the counter to flatten the drips.
9. Step 9: Place the coated Oreos back on the parchment-lined sheet and chill for 10 minutes until firm.
10. Step 10: Transfer any leftover melted chocolate to a piping bag or small plastic bag and snip a tiny corner at a 45-degree angle.
11. Step 11: Drizzle some chocolate over the tops of each Oreo and immediately press a red heart sprinkle onto the upper-right corner before the drizzle sets.
12. Step 12: Chill for another 5 minutes until all decorations are set. Your Grinch Oreo Pops are ready to enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• If you can’t find vibrant green candy melts, you can tint white candy melts with green oil-based coloring for vivid results.
• For extra flair, try adding tiny edible silver balls or sprinkles along with the hearts.
• Use lollipop sticks with a flat end for easier insertion and a more secure hold.

Storage

Store the Grinch Oreo Pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For best texture, allow them to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving. Avoid warm temperatures to prevent the candy coating from melting.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie besides Oreos?

Yes, you can use sandwich cookies with a similar size and filling that will hold onto the stick well. Just be sure they are firm enough to dip without falling apart.

How do I melt candy melts without burning them?

Heat the candy melts in short intervals of 15-30 seconds, stirring thoroughly between each. This prevents overheating and keeps the chocolate smooth for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Oreos

• 15 Oreos

Coating

• 12 ounces vibrant green candy melts
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Decoration

• Large red heart sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the Oreo pops from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
2. Separate Oreos: Carefully pull one side of each Oreo off and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet with the exposed filling side up.
3. Melt candy melts: 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 and smooth.
4. Add coconut oil: Stir the tablespoon of coconut oil into the melted candy to make the coating more fluid and easier to work with.
5. Insert sticks: Dip each sucker stick about half an inch into the melted candy, then press it gently into the center of the Oreo filling so it is secure. Reassemble the Oreo by placing the top back on.
6. Chill for setting: Place the Oreos with sticks on the baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until the sticks are firmly set.
7. Dip Oreos: Pour the melted candy into a tall cup. Dip each Oreo pop fully into the candy melt coating, ensuring it is completely covered.
8. Remove excess coating: Lightly tap the stick against the side of the cup to remove excess candy melts. Then, tap the bare bottom of the stick on the counter to smooth and flatten the chocolate coating.
9. Chill again: Place the dipped Oreo pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 10 minutes or until the coating has hardened.
10. Prepare drizzle: Transfer the remaining melted candy to a piping bag or a small plastic bag and snip a tiny corner at a 45-degree angle for controlled drizzling.
11. Decorate Oreos: Drizzle the candy over each Oreo pop in a decorative pattern. Immediately press a large red heart sprinkle in the upper-right corner of each Oreo for a festive touch.
12. Final chill: Chill the decorated Oreo pops for an additional 5 minutes or until the drizzle has hardened. Serve and enjoy your Grinch-inspired holiday treats!

Notes

• Use a tall cup for dipping to help fully submerge the Oreo pops easily.
• Ensure the candy melts are fully melted and smooth before dipping to get an even coating.
• If candy melts start to thicken, reheat in short bursts and stir to maintain a workable consistency.
• Store the assembled Oreo pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh up to 3 days.
• For an alternative to coconut oil, you can use vegetable shortening to thin the candy melts.
