Instructions
Prepare sprinkles or fondant letters prior to assembling Oreo pops.
Line your counter top or large sheet pan with parchment or wax paper.
Separate all of the sandwich cookies by gently and carefully twisting them apart. Place cookie halves with the filling in the top row and place the cookies with no filling off to the side.
Place half of almond bark (candy coating) in a tall microwave safe container I like to use a tall skinny measuring cup. It makes for easier dipping. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each interval, until bark melts completely.
Dip one end of a lollipop stick in the melted candy coating. Gently press the coated lollipop stick into the cookie filling. Gently place a cookie top with no filling over the stick and carefully press down. NOTE: Using too much pressure will break the cookie. Then you will have to eat it and you may not have enough for your party. To be safe you may want to buy two packs.
Repeat until all cookies have sticks in them. If there are any left over you can save them for later or eat them. I won't judge. This is hard work after all.
Allow the melted candy coating to set for a few moments.
Check melted candy coating to be sure it is still very soft. If it firms up a little, pop it back in the microwave. Once your bowl starts to get low add more candy coating and melt.
Dip one cookie pop into the melted candy coating. Swirl back and forth, carefully to ensure you have a good coating. You may want to gently tap the stick on the bowl to allow some of the coating to drip off before placing on your parchment paper.
Place on parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles if desired or place fondant cut outs on top at this point. You do not want to wait for the candy coating to dry or the sprinkles/fondant will not stick. If you are drizzling with chocolate you can wait until they dry.
Repeat until all cookies are coated and decorated.
Allow to set until dry. If you are bagging them, wait until they dry before placing cellophane bags over the top. Close with a ribbon.
