How to Make St Patrick’s Day Cake Pops

Crush the Oreos by using a food processor or putting them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with cream cheese in a food processor or bowl until well combined. Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet covered with wax paper.

Melt almond bark in the microwave on high for 1 minute (add 30 seconds if necessary). Dip the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, insert it into each ball, and freeze for 30 minutes. If necessary, reheat the chocolate until melted, then dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate and place it on parchment paper to harden (make sure the top is flat).

Pour the rest of the chocolate into a piping bag and squeeze it onto the flat top of the Oreo pop. Sprinkle some gold confetti sprinkles on top. Pipe a small line behind the sprinkles and place the rainbow gummy belt.

This step is optional, on the front of the Oreo Pop pipe 3 small dots and place a shamrock sprinkle on each dot.

Place the Oreo pops upright on a cake pop stand or in a piece of Styrofoam to dry and set. Then, you can serve and enjoy your homemade Oreo cake pops!

To thaw frozen Oreo pops, simply place them in the refrigerator overnight or let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. It is important to keep them in an airtight container to prevent any moisture from getting into the pops and making them soggy.

Can chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips be used instead of almond bark?

Yes, you can use chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips as an alternative to almond bark. However, the consistency and taste may vary slightly. It is recommended to use high-quality chocolate for the best results. You can also add a bit of vegetable shortening to help thin out the chocolate and make it easier to work with.
