Base Ingredients
- Oreos – classic sandwich cookies, quantity as needed
- White Chocolate Melts – enough to fully coat each Oreo pop
- Black Candy Melts or Black Icing – for facial decorations
- Lollipop Sticks – one per Oreo
Optional Decoration
- Edible Markers – for drawing fine details
- Wax or Parchment Paper – to line the workspace
- Edible Glitter or Sprinkles – for extra decoration
- Prepare Your Workspace: Line a flat surface with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup. Have your lollipop sticks and candy melts ready.
- Insert the Sticks: Gently push a lollipop stick into the cream filling of each Oreo, twisting slightly to secure the stick without breaking the cookie.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate melts in short bursts in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and creamy.
- Dip the Oreos: Hold each Oreo pop by the stick, dip fully into the melted white chocolate coating, tap off the excess, and place on the prepared paper.
- Decorate Jack Skellington’s Face: Before the chocolate sets, pipe on eyes, nose, and stitched smile with black candy melts or icing. Alternatively, let the coating set then use edible markers for precise detailing.
- Let Pops Set: Allow the dipped and decorated pops to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating hardens and decorations are secure.
Notes
- Use room temperature white chocolate for smoother melting and even coating.
- Insert sticks carefully to avoid cracking the Oreos.
- Practice piping Jack’s facial features on parchment paper before decorating pops.
- Work quickly as white chocolate hardens fast.
- Store pops upright during decoration and drying using foam block or cup.
- Store finished pops in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days.
- Freeze pops individually wrapped for longer storage; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Reheating is not recommended; allow frozen pops to return to room temperature naturally to avoid condensation.
