St. Patrick’s Day Oreo Pops Recipe

Introduction

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with these festive Oreo Pops that combine creamy green and golden Oreo dough, coated in rich chocolate and decorated with colorful candies. They’re fun to make, eye-catching, and perfect for parties or treats.

Ingredients

• 1 package Golden Oreo Thins (13.1 ounces)
• 6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 6 drops green food coloring
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 12 rainbow gummy candies
• 1/4 cup gold sprinkles

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place Golden Oreo Thins in a food processor and pulse until crumbled to a texture resembling sand.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Stir well until a soft dough forms.
3. Step 3: Divide the mixture in half. Add green food coloring to one half and blend until the color is evenly absorbed.
4. Step 4: Split each colored dough into 12 small pieces. Roll together one piece from each color to form a marbled ball using your hands.
5. Step 5: Place the balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Using a small spoon or teaspoon, make an indent on top of each ball and insert a popsicle stick or rod into the center.
6. Step 6: Freeze the balls for 20 minutes while melting the chocolate.
7. Step 7: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
8. Step 8: Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
9. Step 9: Before the chocolate sets, decorate the pops with rainbow gummy candies and gold sprinkles.
10. Step 10: Refrigerate the pops for about an hour or until the chocolate has hardened. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture before dividing the dough.
• Use different colored food coloring to create other festive themes beyond St. Patrick’s Day.
• Swap rainbow gummy candies for colored sugar crystals or edible glitter for a different decoration style.
• Use white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a sweeter coating.

Storage

Store Oreo Pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Avoid freezing as it can affect the texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I make the Oreo Pops ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the Oreo balls and freeze them several days in advance before dipping. Just thaw them in the refrigerator before coating with chocolate and decorating.

What can I use instead of Golden Oreo Thins?

If Golden Oreo Thins are unavailable, regular Golden Oreos work fine as well. Just crush them thoroughly to achieve a fine crumb texture for mixing.

Instructions

1. Crush the Oreos: Place Golden Oreo Thins in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crumbled, with a texture resembling sand.
2. Combine with cream cheese: In a large bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese thoroughly until a soft dough forms.
3. Add color: Divide the dough into two halves. Add green food coloring to one half and mix well until fully saturated with green color.
4. Form marbled balls: Split both colored and uncolored dough into 12 small pieces each. Roll one piece of green dough and one piece of yellow dough together using your hands to form marbled balls.
5. Prepare for freezing: Place the marbled balls onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Using a small spoon or teaspoon, make an indent on top of each ball, then insert a popsicle stick or rod into the center.
6. Freeze the balls: Freeze the balls for about 20 minutes while preparing the chocolate for dipping.
7. Melt chocolate: In a heat-safe medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
8. Dip the balls: Use a fork or spoon to support each Oreo ball and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then set the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.
9. Decorate: Before the chocolate hardens, add a rainbow gummy candy and sprinkle gold sprinkles on top of each chocolate-covered Oreo ball.
10. Chill to set: Refrigerate the Oreo pops for about one hour or until the chocolate has fully hardened. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing with Oreo crumbs.
• Use parchment paper to prevent the balls from sticking during freezing and setting.
• To speed up chocolate melting, stir frequently during microwave intervals to avoid scorching.
• Store finished Oreo pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a different look, try white chocolate or colored candy melts as coating.
