OREO POPS - MR.BARTLEY WILL LOVE THESE!

I love Oreo’s.  They are the perfect cookie.  They are great on sundaes.  They are great on caramel apples.  They are great on cupcakes.
The only thing better than an Oreo cookie is a chocolate covered Oreo.  The only thing better than a chocolate covered Oreo is a chocolate covered Oreo with sprinkles.  The only thing better than a chocolate covered Oreo with sprinkles is a chocolate covered Oreo with sprinkles on a stick.  Got that all!?

GOURMET CHOCOLATE COVERED OREO

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend a blogging conference called SNAP. It was a great experience and if I get time I’ll do a recap post.
At the conference we got to try a new product called Velata. Velata is a new product from the makers of Scentsy.  It is a chocolate fondue warmer and line of chocolate. After dinner we got to try the different flavors and dip various goodies for dessert.  My favorite flavor of Velata was Caramel Milk Chocolate, but they were all delicious!  The Velata dipped chocolate was a lot of fun and would be an awesome dessert at a party or wedding.
I have a feeling we will be having dipped chocolate at some upcoming parties this summer!  Now I just need to get some more warmers so we can have multiple flavors!

VELATA CHOCOLATE WARMER

I was excited to use my new Velata warmer so I decided to make some chocolate dipped Oreo pops.  My Velata warmer was perfect for keeping the chocolate at the right temperature.  I loved that the bowl was large enough to dip the chocolate, but small enough that the chocolate didn’t go to waste.

CHOCOLATE COVERED OREO POPS TUTORIAL

Ever wonder how to make Oreo pops?  They’re really quite easy.  Here’s how…
  
Melt the chocolate and put in microwave then place in Velata warmer.  Pour the sprinkles on a plate.
Remove one side of the Oreo cookie and place sucker stick in the filling.  Put a small amount of melted chocolate in the cookie to help create a bond to the other cookie.
Place the other Oreo cookie back on top of the cookie filling.
Let the Oreo cookie pops sit for several minutes to allow the chocolate to setup and create a bond.
Dip the Oreo cookie pop into the melted chocolate. Cover both sides then tap off the excess chocolate.
Place one side of the Oreo pop in the sprinkles.
Place the sprinkled Oreo pop on wax paper and allow to setup for 20-30 minutes.

HOMEMADE OREO POPS

This was a fun and simple food project.  Oreo pops are an easy, inexpensive, and cute wedding favor, birthday party favor, or neighbor treat.
I like to take pictures and I especially like to take pictures of cute, colorful things so enjoy a few mouse scrolls. :)
