Peppermint Bark Oreo Pops
- Author: Annie Chesson
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Cook Time: 5 mins
- Total Time: 25 mins
- Yield: 16 Oreo Pops 1x
- Three 4oz bars of white chocolate (I used Bakers)
- About 15–20 peppermint candies
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 16–20 skinny Popsicle sticks
- Finely chop the white chocolate
- Fill a medium pot with a few inches of water, and place a heat proof bowl (glass works) inside it to make a double boiler
- The water shouldn’t be touching the bottom of the bowl
- Bring the water to a simmer
- Add the chocolate to the bowl
- Stir the chocolate often until it is completely melted and smooth
- Meanwhile, place the peppermint candies in a ziplock bag and, using a rolling pin (or a pan), crush the candies until you have peppermint dust mixed with very small peppermint pieces
- Once your chocolate is melted, stir in the peppermint extract
- For the Oreos, stick a skinny Popsicle stick into the center of each one, gently squeezing each side as you do so that it doesn’t pop open
- Push the stick into the Oreo a little bit, but not enough so that it pops through the top
- Prep 16 Oreos (if you have extra chocolate at the end, you can prep a few more)
- Place a sheet of parchment or wax paper onto a baking sheet
- Dip the Oreos into the white chocolate until they are completely covered, using a spoon to help cover the whole cookie in chocolate
- Towards the middle of this process, I wasn’t dipping the Oreos because the chocolate wasn’t deep enough. I just held the Oreo down in the bowl and spooned chocolate onto it until it was sufficiently coated
- Place the Oreos onto the parchment/wax paper once they are dipped
- After all the Oreos are finished, sprinkle a little bit of peppermint on top of each one
- You can place these in the freezer or fridge to help the chocolate set faster if you want
