Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 15 Oreos
- 12 ounces vibrant green candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Large red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Separate Oreos: Pull one side off each Oreo and arrange the separated halves on the lined baking sheet.
- Melt candy melts: Place the vibrant green candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, stirring every 15-30 seconds to ensure even melting and to prevent burning.
- Add coconut oil: Stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil thoroughly into the melted candy for a smooth dipping consistency.
- Insert sticks: Dip each sucker stick about half an inch into the melted candy, then insert it under halfway up the Oreo filling in the middle half. Press the Oreo tops back onto the filling to secure the stick inside.
- Chill Oreos with sticks: Place the Oreo pops in the refrigerator and chill for about 5 minutes or until the candy hardens and holds the sticks firmly.
- Dip Oreos: Transfer the melted candy to a tall cup. Completely dip each Oreo pop into the candy coating, ensuring full coverage.
- Drain excess: Lightly tap the stick on the side of the cup to remove excess chocolate, then gently tap the bottom of the stick on the counter to flatten the candy at the base.
- Chill dipped Oreos: Return the dipped Oreo pops to the baking sheet and chill for 10 minutes or until fully set and hardened.
- Decorate with drizzle: Pour any remaining melted candy into a piping or frosting bag and snip a small portion off at a 45-degree angle to create a thin drizzle.
- Add drizzle and sprinkles: Drizzle the candy over the top surface of each Oreo pop, then quickly press a large red heart sprinkle into the upper-right corner before the candy sets.
- Final chill: Chill the decorated Oreo pops for an additional 5 minutes or until the drizzle hardens completely. Enjoy your festive Grinch Oreo Pops!
Notes
- You can substitute coconut oil with vegetable oil if preferred.
- For easier melting, occasionally stir the candy melts in the microwave to avoid overheating.
- Make sure pops are fully chilled and hardened between steps for best results and easier handling.
- Use a piping or small zip-top bag for the drizzle for precision.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge depending on ambient temperature.
