What's the Best Chocolate for Melting?
To make this chocolatey treat, you'll want to use either chocolate chips or chocolate wafers (chocolate melts). The quality of chocolate really depends on what you are making or baking.
Different quality chocolates have different melting points. If the chocolate is too dry, you will want to add either some cocoa chips or you can use a high quality oil or fat that is mild in flavor. Add it as a half teaspoon at a time.
Try to stay away from adding any liquid to your chocolate as this will cause your chocolate to seize.
As soon as your chocolate has melted, remove it from the microwave or stove top. Be careful removing it not to burn your fingers by using kitchen mitts.
If you are using a microwave to melt your chocolate, microwave it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring at each interval.
Whether you are using the microwave or the stovetop, always use a glass bowl as this yields the best results for melting chocolate.
How to Make Chocolate Covered Cookie Pops
Prepare your cake pop stand and have it near you.
Place the chocolate wafers in bowl and melt the chocolate either in a double boiler or in the microwave.
Stir the chocolate occasionally so that it melts evenly. If you find that your chocolate is too dry and thick, add some pure cocoa butter chips (unflavored).
Prepare a small ramekin and place some hot water inside half way. If you are melting your chocolate on a double boiler, you can use the unused water after melting your chocolate.
Once your chocolate has melted, carefully remove it. Stir to smooth out the chunks. Pour it in the glass and place the glass in the ramekin with the warm water. That will keep the chocolate from cooling down to quickly.
Place a cake pop stick through the ore cookie, then dunk the oreo cookie in the chocolate carefully pulling it up. Use a spoon to scoop more chocolate to cover any missed spots on the oreo. (You might need a fork to guide and keep the oreo from sliding off the lollipop stick as you lift it from the chocolate.)
Place it on a cake pop stand with the stick side down to dry. Try and scrape any excess chocolate that's dripping down the pop stick with a spoon. You can come back later with a wet paper towel to get any small stains.
Repeat and let the cookies cool until dry, about 24 hrs.
Transfer the dried cookie pops on to a cooling rack.
Melt the white chocolate and let it cool enough to place in a piping back or in a sandwich bag. Let it cool enough so it doesn't melt the bag.
Snip off a little hole in the corner and pipe a zig zag on the oreo cookies. Repeat until all have been decorated.
Decorate with colorful sprinkles and place hearts in the center by piping a dab of chocolate on one side of the heart and sticking it in the centre of the cookie.
Top Tips
Gently push the cookie stick into the filling.
Melt chocolate slowly to avoid overheating.
If using a microwave, heat chocolate wafers for 30 second intervals, stirring after each cycle. Reduce the time as the chocolate melts.
Let excess chocolate drip off cookies before placing them on cookie stand.
Allow cookies to fully set before packaging or serving.
Use a damp paper towel to wipe any chocolate off the pop sticks before storing or giving them away.
Storage
These Chocolate covered Oreo cookies will store well in an air-tight container for 3 to 4 weeks.I haven't frozen these dipped cookie pops therefore I can't recommended freezing.
