Ingredients for OREO Snowman Pops

Now, let’s talk ingredients. You’ll only need a few things to make these adorable snowman pops, and the best part is that they’re all easy to find at any grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 12 OREO Cookies
• 1 cup white chocolate melts (for dipping)
• Black decorating icing (for the eyes and buttons)
• Orange decorating icing (for the carrot nose)

Pro Tip:

You can also use orange candy melts for the nose if you prefer. The decorating icing is easy to use, but candy melts give you a smoother texture and a more solid finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions for OREO Snowman Pops

Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate

Start by melting the white chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. I typically melt mine in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat it, or it can burn.

• Tip: You can also use a double boiler if you prefer, but the microwave works just fine for this.

Step 2: Prepare the OREO Cookies

Next, carefully pull apart the OREO cookies. You’ll want to remove the filling for this recipe, but if you’re feeling extra indulgent, you can always leave it in. I prefer to keep the cookies just as they are, with the chocolate wafer on the outside.

• Tip: Save the filling for another fun treat, or just enjoy it on its own while you work!

Step 3: Attach the Lollipop Stick

Now, grab your lollipop sticks. Dip one end of the stick in the melted white chocolate, and then place the stick into the center of one of the OREO halves. You’ll want to press gently to make sure the stick sticks to the cookie. Then, place the other half of the cookie on top and gently press down. Let the cookies sit for about 10 minutes to set.

• Pro Tip: This is an important step because the lollipop stick is what holds the snowman together. Don’t skip this!

Step 4: Dip the Cookies in Chocolate

Once the cookies are set, it’s time to dip them in the melted white chocolate. Hold the cookie by the lollipop stick and gently dip it into the melted chocolate, flipping it to ensure it’s completely covered.

• Tip: Be sure to let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This helps prevent clumps and keeps your snowman pop looking neat.

Step 5: Let the Chocolate Set

Place the dipped OREO Snowman Pops on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and let them set for about 20-30 minutes. You can speed up the process by placing them in the fridge for a few minutes, but I like to let them set at room temperature to keep the texture nice.

• Tip: This is the time to tidy up your kitchen and prep your decorating tools while the pops set.

Step 6: Decorate the Snowman Face

Now for the fun part—decorating! Using your black decorating icing, create two little eyes and three buttons on the snowman’s body. Then, use your orange decorating icing to draw a little carrot-shaped nose. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect—imperfections only add to the charm of these snowmen!

• Pro Tip: You can also get creative here and add scarves, hats, or even little arms using additional icing or candy. Let your imagination run wild!

Step 7: Let the Icing Set

Once you’ve decorated your snowmen, let the icing set for a few minutes before serving. Then, they’re ready to be enjoyed!

Tips for Perfect OREO Snowman Pops

• Use Parchment Paper: Always line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps the chocolate set without sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
• Get Creative with Decorations: While the basic snowman face is adorable, you can add little extras to make each pop unique. Use mini marshmallows for earmuffs or pretzel sticks for arms—there’s no limit to how creative you can get!
• Make Ahead: These snowman pops can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Perfect for preparing a batch for holiday parties or school events!
• Use a Double Boiler: If you’re melting chocolate on the stove, using a double boiler can help prevent the chocolate from burning. Simply place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
