Method
- Line a baking sheet or a large plate with parchment paper or wax paper. This will prevent the pops from sticking as they set. Have your sprinkles and edible decorations ready and within easy reach.
- Carefully twist apart each Oreo cookie. You want to remove the cream filling and set it aside for now. You'll be using just the cookie halves.1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- Take one cookie half and sandwich it back together with the cream filling, gently pressing to reassemble. Then, take another cookie half and sandwich it on top of the cream, creating a "new" Oreo cookie. Repeat this with all your Oreos.
- Gently insert a lollipop stick or craft stick into the side of each assembled Oreo, ensuring it goes about halfway through the cookie and is secure. You want the stick to be firmly in place so it doesn't slip out after dipping.1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and the vegetable shortening (if using). Microwave on 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- If you want pink chocolate, add a few drops of red or pink food coloring to a portion of the white melted chocolate and stir until the color is evenly distributed. You can divide the chocolate into smaller bowls to create different shades or use different colors.1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- Hold an Oreo pop by the stick and carefully dip it into the melted white chocolate, covering the entire cookie except for the very edge where the stick is inserted. You want a good coat, but try to avoid excessive dripping.
- Immediately after dipping, while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your decorated Oreo pops with your chosen Valentine's Day sprinkles, edible glitter, or heart-shaped candies. Gently tap off any excess.1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- Place the decorated Oreo pops back onto the prepared parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Allow them to set completely at room temperature for at least 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. You can speed this up by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes once the initial setting has occurred.
- Continue dipping and decorating the remaining Oreo pops until all are transformed into adorable treats.
