I saw Oreos dipped in chocolate on a stick online and thought how cute, yummy and quick would these be for a bake sale at my daughter's school. I did a search online. Read up on how others had made theirs and decided on a couple things. I didn't want to open each cookie up to put the stick in as a couple sites recommended. I definitely wanted to use popsicle sticks verses the white candy sticks. I just loved the look of the stick. I also loved the look of the white candy coating with sprinkles.
What I needed... 2 packs of "Double Stuf" Oreos, one pack of popsicle sticks, 2 - 12oz. bags of white candy coating (I used Guittard), and sprinkles of your choice. This made 52 Oreo pops. I think I had about 6 broken cookies that didn't even make it to the stick process. DH was glad to put them out of their misery.
For each cookie I measured how far I wanted the stick to go in then I pushed it into the cookie.
I found that probably half the cookies were either already broken or I broke them pushing the stick in. Not sure which. Holding the cookie semi firmly with fingers and thumb of one hand as I pushed the stick in kept everything together. I found the frosting held the cookies together nicely and that the broken cookie wasn't a factor in the finished product.
Only one time out of 52 did a piece of the broken cookie dropped off into the chocolate. I just picked it up and stuck it back in place. No problem.
52 cookies on a stick waiting to be coated.
After a few air pockets emerging on the sides I decided it was better to coat the center of the cookies before coating the top and the bottom. I never dipped the cookies as I didn't think they stay on the stick and the broken cookies might fall a part.
I used a spoon to drizzle candy coating around the center frosting section Then I spooned some coating on the top and using a "saucing a pizza like swirl" I spread the coating. Flipped the cookie over and repeated. I then gently tapped side of stick with my finger to loosen up the excess candy coating to drip back into the double boiler. Good thing I did this as with 2 - 12oz bags of candy coating I was JUST able to coat 52 cookies. Would not have been able to do 53.
I put all the cookies on wax paper. It was a little too warm in my kitchen yesterday for them to set in a timely manner. I ended up putting them in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Since these were something quick I wanted to try for a bake sale I didn't bother standing them up to set and putting sprinkles on both sides. For a party at my house I might do that.
They just turned out adorable. They looked like something one would have to buy. I know they will be a hit at the bake sale. I could have sent them over like this, but I was feeling very crafty yesterday.And I wrapped each one in a little bag.
