Large sheet pan (15" x 21")
Parchment paper

Ingredients

1 package Oreos use your favorite!

1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil or shortening; optional, makes the chocolate easier to work with
Lollipop sticks

US - Metric

Instructions

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Gently separate Oreos by slowly twisting them apart. (Some will break. It’s okay; just try to be gentle.)
Separate the chocolate chips into 3 parts (this keeps it from getting hard while you decorate) and place each section in a microwave safe bowl.
Into each bowl of chocolate chips, optionally 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, stirring for 20 seconds between each burst. Be patient 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 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 (it’s okay if some chocolate gets on the licorice).
Gently place two candy 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.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover Oreo Pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the fridge if your kitchen is warm. Keep them in a single layer to avoid smudging the decorations.
