Simple Halloween Oreo Pops — Spider Oreo Pops, Skeleton Oreo Pops, Frankenstein Oreo Pops, and Monster Oreo Pops
There is a video tutorial (1 min, 6 seconds) above this text and below are specific instructions for each of these Halloween oreo pops. ? Note that each recipe makes about 20-25 Oreo pops so if you want to do a variety of the pops then you’ll want to halve (or third or forth) each of the individual recipes.
Also, if you’re looking for the cake pop holder for these Halloween Oreo Pops (like the one used in the video) I love and highly recommend this Nordic Ware one
! (<– click on text). You’ll also want to have Parchment Paper
to lay all of these Halloween Oreo pops on (after making them) so they can harden, but be pulled up easily.

Spider Oreo Pops
Ingredients
- 1 package of your favorite Oreos
- 1 bag (12 ounces) milk chocolate chips
- 48 edible candy eyeballs
- 1 bag string black licorice laces
- Optional: vegetable oil or shortening -- makes the chocolate easier to work with
- Lollipop sticks
- Parchment Paper
Instructions
- Line a large tray with parchment paper and set aside. Gently separate the oreos by slowly twisting them apart. (Some will break, it's okay, just try to be gentle)
- Separate the milk chocolate into 3 parts (this is to keep it from getting hard while you decorate) and place each section in a microwave safe bowl.
- Into each bowl of chocolate chips add about 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or shortening (more if needed to thin it even more).
- Melt in 20 second bursts in the microwave (Microwave 20 seconds, stir 20 seconds, etc.)
- Be patient when melting and stir well in between bursts to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Dip one end of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and press that side into the cream side of the oreo. Cut the licorice laces into even pieces about an inch long. Press 4 cut licorice laces into the cream of the right side of the oreo and 4 more cut licorice laces into the cream on the left of the oreo.
- Place the other half of the oreo on top and gently press and hold. Let harden.
- Gently spoon melted chocolate over the top of the oreos being careful to avoid the licorice (its okay if some chocolate gets on the licorice).
- Gently place two edible eyes into the melted chocolate and set the finished (but still wet) oreos onto the prepared tray lined with parchment paper (if you don't use parchment paper they won't come up nicely).
- Allow to harden at room temperature.

Such a great idea!
Thank you! 🙂
Are both sides if the cookie covered when you use the spoon? Can the cookies be placed in bags with the gel?
So adorable
Thanks so much! 🙂
Love these pops
Thanks Linda! 🙂
Do you have any birthday girl iseas?
I don’t; sorry! Hopefully soon (I had a little girl this past January :))
do you do both front and back of cookies with the chocolate? my cookies keep breaking apart when i dip them what am i doing wrong??
Are you making sure you let the chocolate harden on the lollipop stick in the middle first? Also, I just coat the front by spooning chocolate over it. You don’t want too much chocolate or it will be too heavy.
I can’t wait to make these with my daughter! How many days in advance can I make these?
I hope you have a blast making them 🙂 Honestly I think they are best eaten within 1-2 days 🙂
Love these. Any thanksgiving suggestions??
Thanks Deb! I don’t have any Thanksgiving Oreo Pops yet, but will definitely try to come up with some 🙂
