Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp tonic water
Other
- 1 package Oreo cookies (about 12 cookies)
- 1 package paper straws or popsicle sticks
- Optional: decorative spiders for topping
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Microwave the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tonic water to thin the chocolate to a consistency similar to chocolate syrup. If it remains too thick, add a little more tonic water, stirring well to combine.
- Assemble the Oreo Pops: Carefully twist apart the Oreo cookies to separate the halves. Flatten one end of a paper straw or popsicle stick, dip the flattened end into the melted white chocolate, and press it onto one Oreo half. Then press the other Oreo half on top to reassemble the cookie sandwich, securely holding the stick in place.
- Dip the Oreo Pops: Dip each assembled Oreo pop into the melted white chocolate, coating completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, decorate the top with a small spider or other themed candy decorations.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet with the dipped Oreo pops in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, or until the white chocolate hardens and sets completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the coating is firm, the Oreo pops are ready to serve. Enjoy your glowing, spooky treats!
Notes
- Tonic water contains quinine, which fluoresces under blacklight, giving the white chocolate a glowing effect.
- Be sure not to overheat the white chocolate to avoid burning or seizing.
- If white chocolate is too thick after melting, add tonic water gradually to reach the right consistency.
- Use paper straws for easy food-safe sticks and to avoid melting like plastic might.
- Decorative spiders or edible glitter can be added for extra spooky flair.
- Store leftover Oreo pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
