FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Double Stuf?

Yes, but Double Stuf makes it easier to insert the sticks securely without breaking the cookie.

How do I keep the cookies from falling apart?

Freezing the pops briefly before dipping and using candy melts as “glue” helps the cookies stay together.

What’s the best way to melt candy melts?

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler for more control.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely. These can be made 12 days ahead and stored in a cool, dry place.

How do I get a smooth candy coating?

Thin the melts with a bit of coconut oil or shortening and tap the stick gently after dipping to let excess drip off.

Do I need to use a stick?

No. You can skip the sticks and just dip the Oreos as whole cookies for a simpler version.

What if I don’t have candy melts?

You can use white chocolate chips with food coloring, but be careful—chocolate can seize with liquid coloring, so gel coloring is best.

Can I use paper straws instead of lollipop sticks?

Yes, paper straws work great and add a decorative touch.

Are these safe for outdoor parties?

Yes, but keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent the candy coating from melting.

Can I add a filling to these?

You can add peanut butter or cream cheese filling between Oreos before dipping, but this may require refrigeration.
