Ingredients

1 package Golden Oreo Thins (13.1 ounces)
6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
6 drops green food coloring
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 rainbow gummy candies
1/4 cup gold sprinkles

Instructions

Step 1: Place Golden Oreo Thins in a food processor and pulse until crumbled with a texture resembling sand.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Stir well until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Divide the mixture in half. Add green food coloring to one half and mix thoroughly until evenly colored.
Step 4: Split each dough into 12 small pieces. Roll together one piece of the yellow dough and one of the green dough to form a marbled ball with your hands.
Step 5: Place the balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Using a small spoon or teaspoon, make a small indent at the top of each ball. Insert a popsicle stick or rod into the center of each ball.
Step 6: Freeze the balls for about 20 minutes while you melt the chocolate.
Step 7: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 8: Using a fork or spoon to hold each Oreo ball, dip it into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
Step 9: Before the chocolate hardens, decorate each ball with a rainbow gummy candy and sprinkle with gold sprinkles.
Step 10: Refrigerate the Oreo Pops for about an hour or until the chocolate has hardened. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a drop of mint extract to the cream cheese mixture for a refreshing twist.
Substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate for a different coating color and taste.
If you don’t have a food processor, place the Oreo Thins in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.

Storage

Store the Oreo Pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, simply take them out and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. They can also be frozen for longer storage—thaw in the fridge before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden Oreo Thins?

Yes, you can use regular Oreos, but the texture may be slightly denser. Crushing them finely will help achieve a smoother dough.

Is it necessary to freeze the balls before dipping in chocolate?

Freezing helps firm up the dough, making it easier to dip in chocolate without falling apart, so it is highly recommended for best results.

Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Pop Base

1 package Golden Oreo Thins (13.1 ounces)
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 drops green food coloring

Chocolate Coating and Decorations

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 rainbow gummy candies
1/4 cup gold sprinkles

Instructions

Crush Oreos: Place Golden Oreo Thins in a food processor and pulse until finely crumbled with a sand-like texture.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese, stirring until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Color Dough: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Add the green food coloring to one half and blend thoroughly until fully colored.
Form Balls: Split each dough portion into 12 small pieces. Roll one green and one yellow piece together by hand to create a marbled ball.
Prepare for Pops: Place the balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Make a small indent on top of each ball using a spoon, then insert a popsicle stick or rod into the center.
Freeze: Freeze the Oreo pops for about 20 minutes to firm them up before dipping.
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip Pops: Holding each ball by the stick, dip it into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then return to the parchment paper.
Decorate: Before the chocolate hardens, top each pop with rainbow gummy candies and sprinkle with gold sprinkles.
Set and Serve: Refrigerate the coated pops for about 1 hour until chocolate is fully hardened. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Softened cream cheese ensures the dough binds well without being too sticky.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
You can substitute the rainbow gummy candies with other festive candies or sprinkles as desired.
Keep pops refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain firmness.
For extra stability, you can chill the Oreo balls longer before dipping.
