These Oreo cookie pops are dipped in rich dark chocolate and decorated to look like graduation caps, making them a fun and festive treat perfect for graduation parties or celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Oreo Cookies (regular or double-stuffed, about 12 cookies)
  • 12 ounces (340g) high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), e.g., Lindt Excellence 70%
  • Black candy melts or colored royal icing for decorating
  • Mini marshmallows or edible pearls (optional, for the button on top)
  • Lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
  • Edible gold or yellow food coloring gel (if using royal icing)
  • Powdered sugar (if making royal icing)
  • Egg whites or meringue powder (for royal icing base if making your own)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and having your lollipop sticks ready. Set out all decorating supplies nearby.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt it gently in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or melt over a double boiler on low heat. Avoid water contact to prevent seizing.
  3. Carefully twist each Oreo slightly to separate the halves without breaking. Insert a lollipop stick halfway into the cream filling, then press the halves back together firmly.
  4. Hold the stick and dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off by tapping gently on the bowl’s edge. Place the dipped Oreo on the lined baking sheet to set.
  5. While the chocolate is still wet, place a small square of black candy melt or pipe a square shape with black royal icing on top to resemble the flat mortarboard cap.
  6. Using a piping bag with yellow royal icing or melted yellow candy melts, pipe a small tassel from one corner of the cap. Add a mini marshmallow or edible pearl to the center of the cap’s top for a finishing touch.
  7. Allow the cookie pops to set completely at room temperature or place them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  8. Once set, carefully remove the pops from the baking sheet and arrange them on a serving tray. Optionally, tie small ribbons around the sticks for added charm.

Notes

If chocolate thickens while dipping, gently reheat in short bursts. Work quickly when attaching tassels while chocolate is tacky. Use a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to thin chocolate for a shinier finish. Line baking sheet with parchment to prevent sticking. Store pops in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate in warm climates.
