Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 Oreo Cookies (classic sandwich cookies with cream filling)
- 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Black fondant or black candy melts (for grad cap square detail)
- Yellow or gold fondant or yellow candy melts (optional, for tassel detail)
- 10–12 white lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
- Wax or parchment paper (for drying)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by laying out wax paper on a flat surface and have all ingredients at hand.
- Insert lollipop sticks carefully into the cream filling of each Oreo cookie, aiming for the center. Be gentle to avoid cracking the cookie. (About 10 minutes)
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler. (About 5 minutes)
- Holding the stick, dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Gently tap the stick on the bowl’s edge to remove excess chocolate. Place the dipped cookie on the wax paper to set. (About 15 minutes)
- Roll out the black fondant and cut small squares about 1 inch wide. Attach the squares on top of the dipped Oreo using a dab of melted chocolate as glue.
- For the tassel, roll a thin strip of yellow fondant or pipe a small line with yellow candy melts next to the square. (About 15-20 minutes)
- Allow the cookie pops to rest at room temperature or chill briefly in the fridge for 10 minutes until firm.
Notes
If chocolate thickens during dipping, warm it a bit longer but watch closely. Use fresh cookies if one breaks while inserting the stick. Work quickly but carefully as chocolate sets fast. Candy melts can be easier for decorations if fondant is not preferred. Store pops at room temperature or refrigerate and bring to room temp before serving. Avoid freezing to prevent texture changes.
