There are a couple of things in this life that really make me excited, anything with Oreos and chocolate, oh how I love chocolate. Combine the two and you have these amazing Oreo Pops!
If you follow my blog regularly, you know that I am a huge fan of All Things Chocolate. And now it is time to add these Oreo pops to the list. They are so awesome and make perfect gifts, or treats for game days, birthday parties, etc. And of course, I won’t tell if you make them all for yourself. I mean I usually eat a bunch before giving them away.
Also, I really like how versatile they are. You can make so many different variations and designs, just like homemade cake pops. If you are looking for a super easy treat to make, this Oreo Pops recipe is it. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Gather the ingredients
In order to make these incredible Oreo pops you need a handful of ingredients and tools:
- Oreos – You can make Oreo pops without Oreos! You can use the classic flavor or any number of flavor of Oreos. I recommend using the MegaStuff kind, because it makes sliding the stick in so much easier. DoubleStuff will work okay too. You can even use the Gluten-free Oreos.
- Chocolate – There are a variety of chocolate types you can use, chocolate chips, milk, semi-sweet, dark, white, choclate bars, etc. Also some of my favorites are Almond Bark and Candiquik. They melt really thin. Candy melts are also a good choice.
- Oil – If using chocolate chips or chocolate bars, you may need to add a bit of oil, like shortening, canola, or vegetable oil to help thin it out.
- Sprinkles – These are purely optional, but it is fun to use them and make different variations.
- Chopped nuts – I love putting chopped nuts on mine.
- Coconut flakes – For all those coconut lovers, make sure to make a few with coconut!
Tools
- 24 Treat sticks or Cake Pop Sticks
- Bowls
- Spoon
- Sheet pan or cookie sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone mat
- Treat bags (optional)
- Styrofoam, poked with holes (optional)
- Pastry bag or sandwich bag (optional)
Step 2: How to make Oreo Pops at home
Begin by placing your choice of chocolate or candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl.
NOTE: If you are using chocolate chips, add about 1 tbsp of oil, like canola, vegetable, or shortening. This will help the chocolate get thinner after it is melted, making it easier to dip the Oreos.
Use high heat for 30 seconds, then stir, then 30 seconds, then stir, until completely melted. I also find the defrost setting to work really well, in 45-second increments.
Alternatively, if you do not want to use a microwave, you can use the double boiler method.
Place the chocolate or candy coating in a bowl (not plastic) and rest it on top of a small pot with about 1 inch of water, make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl.
Then set the heat to medium. As the water heats up the steam will gently warm the bowl which in turn will melt the chocolate, stir occasionally until melted and runny.
Once your chocolate is melted, dip your candy stick in it about 1/2 inch, and then slide it in the white stuffing in the Oreo about halfway. Press the cookie part gently as well, sometimes they like to come slightly apart when sticking them.
NOTE: This bit of chocolate will act as glue to keep the stick in place when dipping.
Set the stuck Oreos on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Then chill in the fridge for around 10 minutes to let that bit of chocolate firm up. You may need longer up to 20 or 30 minutes, depending on the chocolate/candy coating you are using.
Step 3: Dunk those Oreo pops in chocolate
Time to dunk those Oreos in the melted chocolate. Dip the Oreo pops straight down and then out, it should be fully covered. Or you can dip only half of it if that is the design/look that you want.
If using a bowl with chocolate, you will have to tilt the bowl and then move the stick around a bit more, side to side, up and down, etc. to fully cover it. Or just fill the bowl up higher with chocolate.
Keep the Oreo pops above the chocolate and allow the excess to drain off. Tap gently to help it along.
TIP: Pour the melted chocolate into a narrow glass, it makes dipping later on easier. But only heat up the chocolate in that glass if it is microwave-safe.
For a few variations and flavors, right after the excess drains up dip the Oreo pops in chopped nuts, use sprinkles, coconut flakes, etc.
Place the Oreo Pops upright in a piece of styrofoam with holes, or set them down flat back on the sheet pan with parchment paper.
Then chill once again in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 4: Finish them and serve!
Once the chocolate has had time to set, you can do further designs if you like.
Take some melted chocolate and put it in a pastry bag or plastic bag. Snip the end or corner and then drizzle the chocolate over the Oreo Pops. There are so many options and variations and designs you can make with these.
You can make them match a particular holiday if you like, or party theme, superheroes, etc.
If you do the drizzle, make sure to place the Oreo pops back in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes for the designs to set. Then serve them up!
Enjoy!
NOTE: I actually love eating them cold right out of the fridge. But you can always let them come to room temp first before serving.
TIP: If you want to give them as gifts you can place them individually in small plastic treat bags, they make awesome gifts!
How long do Oreo pops last?
I recommend storing them in the fridge although they can be stored at room temperature. They will last a few weeks. If you use actual chocolate and don’t temper it, it may get really soft or melt a little at room temp. I really prefer them cold, so I always store mine in the fridge. You can even freeze them if you like.
Do I have to use Oreos?
Well no, you can use any similar sandwich cookie. But Oreos are the king of the sandwich cookies, haha.

Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave with bursts of 30 seconds and stirring, then repeat until melted. Or use the double-boiler method on the stovetop, mentioned in the blog post.
- Dip a treat stick in the chocolate about 1/2 inch and then slide it gently into an Oreo. Hold the cookie together.
- Place the Oreos with sticks in them on a sheet pan line with parchment paper or a silicone mat, once they are all dipped, put them in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Now dip them in the chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Then place it back on the sheet pan or in a piece of styrofoam with holes. You can also now dip them in nuts, coconut flakes, or add sprinkles.
- Set them in the fridge once again, so the chocolate/candy coating can firm up, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- They are done! You can also drizzle on different colors of chocolate if you like. Remove them from the fridge, add some melted chocolate to a pastry bag or sandwich bag, snip the corner, then do the drizzles. Make sure to place them back in the fridge so the drizzles can set. Enjoy! Serve them cold or allow them to come to room temp first.

Thanks for mentioning adding oil to the chocolate! A lot of folks don’t mention it, but they happen to have perfectly shiny and perfectly consistent chocolate. Adding oil to it is key. I prefer coconut oil. Great recipe!
Thank you, Timmy! The oil (vegetable oil, shortening, coconut oil, etc) definitely helps to make the chocolate thinner and easier to dip. And you are very welcome!
How far in advance can you make these? For example one week?
Hi there, you can make them fairly far in advance and just store them in the fridge unless your house is cool then you can just store them at room temp. I wouldn’t make them any longer than a week ahead. Preferably only a few days in advance. But a week should be fine.
Love your recipes
Thank you so much!
Glad I came over this post. Now I have an idea of what to prepare for Halloween as sweet treats for the kids.
