Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp tonic water
- 1 package paper straws or popsicle sticks
- 1 package Oreos (about 12 cookies)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Microwave the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each session, until completely melted and smooth. Stir in the tonic water gradually until the mixture reaches a consistency similar to chocolate syrup. Add more tonic water if it is too thick.
- Assemble the Oreo Pops: Carefully twist apart each Oreo cookie into two halves. Flatten one end of a paper straw or popsicle stick, then dip that flattened end into the melted white chocolate to act as glue. Press it firmly into the cream side of one Oreo half, then sandwich the other half on top, reassembling the cookie securely around the straw.
- Dip the Oreo Pops: Dip each assembled Oreo pop into the white chocolate mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped pops upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, decorate the tops with plastic or edible spider decorations for a spooky effect.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the Oreo pops for at least 20 minutes or until the white chocolate hardens completely, giving the pops a firm, glossy coating. Once set, they are ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Using tonic water is key to achieving the glowing effect under blacklight due to its quinine content.
- If white chocolate becomes too thick, add tonic water in small amounts to maintain a smooth dipping consistency.
- Handle the Oreo cookies gently during assembly to prevent breaking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and coating integrity.
- Use paper straws or popsicle sticks for easy handling and a neat presentation.
