How to make Oreo pops

I saw a photo of these yummy Oreo pops on Pinterest but the link was gone by the time I got around to researching how to make them.  Through trial and error I figured out how to make these delicious treats.  My colors did not turn out nearly as cute as I had hoped, but lesson learned:  don't mix food coloring into white candy chips.  Just buy the colored candy chips.  Maybe it was because I used natural food coloring instead of the typical dye food coloring.  Who knows!

First, I used a double boiler to melt the candy or chocolate chips (found at Michael's).  A double boiler is just a half pot of boiling water with a small pot with the chips in it sitting in the large pot with water.  It melts more evenly than in the microwave, so you don't have to worry about burning the sugar.  It was super easy and stayed hot a long time. 

Next I careful took off the tops of the Oreos (like in the commercials!). 

 I used chocolate and vanilla wafers, although only chocolate are pictured.  

 Then I carefully pushed the sticks (I used the thinnest lollipop sticks from Michael's) into the cookie frosting.  [BOTTOM ROW]  Sometimes the cookies cracked.  I used them anyway because they would get covered with yummy goodness.  Then I put a layer of the warm candy or chocolate coating over the cookie frosting and sticks.  [MIDDLE ROW]  I put the cookie top back on to seal the stick inside. [TOP ROW]  If you don't do this, then the stick will either break the cookie or fall out.

Lastly, I took a knife and covered the tops and sides of the cookie with warm chocolate or the candy coating.  I didn't frost the backs of the cookies so they would dry on the parchment paper.  I used short and long sticks because I wanted them to display at different heights.  Like I said earlier, I wish I had used the colored candy instead of trying to dye it myself.  I did this the night before the party so it was a too late to re-do the Oreo pops.  

 Here is the finished product! 

Not only are they easy to make, but they are super cute and YUMMY!!!
