Ingredients
  

For the Oreo Pops
  • 12 Oreo cookies. Double-Stuffed or Mega-Stuffed Oreos provide extra filling to support the sticks.
  • 12 long lollipop sticks. Long sticks make the pops easy to hold.
  • 2 cups white confectionery coating or white chocolate. White coating creates the skeleton background.
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil optional. Coconut oil thins white chocolate when needed.
For the Skeleton Faces
  • 50 grams dark chocolate. Dark chocolate creates the eyes nose, and stitched smile.
  • 12 small black ribbons optional. Ribbons add a festive finish.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Lollipop sticks
  • Piping bag
  • Small zip-top bag

Method
 

  1. Prepare the baking sheet:
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. This will give you a clean surface for assembling and decorating the Oreo pops.
  2. Separate the Oreos:
    Carefully twist each Oreo apart, trying to keep the cream filling attached to one cookie half. Work gently so the cookies do not crack.
  3. Attach the lollipop sticks:
    Melt a small amount of the white coating. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted coating, then gently press it into the Oreo cream filling. Place the other cookie half back on top and press very lightly to secure it. Repeat with the remaining Oreos.
  4. Let the sticks set:
    Place the assembled Oreo pops on the prepared baking sheet. If the cookies feel loose, chill them for about 5–10 minutes, or until the coating around the sticks has firmed up.
  5. Melt the white coating:
    Place the white confectionery coating or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short bursts, stirring well between each burst, until completely smooth. If using white chocolate chips, stir in the coconut oil to create a thinner, smoother coating. Avoid overheating the chocolate.
  6. Dip the Oreo pops:
    Hold each Oreo pop over the bowl and carefully dip it into the melted white coating. Spoon the coating over the cookie if necessary to cover both sides completely. Allow any excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
  7. Place the pops on the tray:
    Transfer each coated Oreo pop to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Try to keep the cookies flat while the coating begins to set.
  8. Let the white coating harden:
    Chill the Oreo pops for about 5–10 minutes, or until the white coating is completely firm.
  9. Melt the dark chocolate:
    Place the dark chocolate in a clean microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring thoroughly after each burst, until smooth and easy to pipe.
  10. Prepare the piping bag:
    Transfer the melted dark chocolate to a piping bag. You can also use a small zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
  11. Decorate the skeleton faces:
    Pipe two round eyes, a small nose, and a stitched skeleton smile onto each Oreo pop. Keep the decorations simple for a classic Jack-o'-lantern-style skeleton look, or experiment with different expressions.
  12. Let the chocolate set:
    Allow the decorated Oreo pops to sit at room temperature until the dark chocolate has completely hardened.
  13. Add the ribbons:
    For an extra Halloween touch, tie a small black ribbon around each lollipop stick before serving.
