- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- Oreos (classic sandwich cookies, or gluten-free Oreos as a substitute)
- Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Black candy melts or black fondant for graduation caps
- Mini marshmallows or small round candies for cap buttons
- Lollipop sticks or sturdy wooden skewers
- White royal icing or white gel icing pen for tassel details
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and gather all ingredients and tools.
- Gently twist each Oreo apart and carefully insert a lollipop stick into the cream center, then sandwich the halves back together. Press gently if the cookie cracks.
- Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Dip each Oreo on a stick into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Let excess chocolate drip off and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt the black candy melts separately and form flat squares on parchment paper for the graduation caps. Let set until firm but slightly tacky (10-15 minutes).
- Attach the graduation caps to the chocolate-coated Oreos using a dab of melted black candy melts. Press gently to adhere.
- Place a mini marshmallow or round candy in the center of each cap and secure with a small dot of melted candy melts.
- Use white royal icing or a gel icing pen to draw tassel strings extending from the button to the edge of the cap.
- Allow the pops to set at room temperature or in the fridge for 30 minutes until fully firm. Avoid stacking.
Notes
Do not overheat chocolate to avoid graininess. Chill Oreos before dipping to help chocolate set faster. Use candy melts for easier decoration shaping. Work in small batches to maintain smooth chocolate texture. Practice piping tassels on parchment paper first. If chocolate thickens, warm gently again. Store pops in airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerated up to a week. Pops freeze well wrapped individually for up to a month.
