25large edible eyes (or an assortment of small edible eyes -- you can do the eyes however you like!)
purple jimmie sprinkles
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 purple candy melts chocolate into 3 parts (this is to keep it from getting hard while you decorate) and place each section in a microwave safe bowl.
Add about 1/2- 1 full 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 candy melts.
Dip one end of the lollipop stick into the melted candy melts and press that side into the cream side of the oreo.
Place the other half of the oreo on top and gently press and hold.
Spoon the melted chocolate over the oreo pop evenly. Gently tap the oreo pop on the edge of the bowl to get the purple candy melts to cover the oreo evenly and smoothly.
Immediately press one large edible eye in the center of the oreo pop OR do an assortment of eyes (for example, three small eyes in the center).
Sprinkle purple jimmie sprinkles over the edible eye(s).
