Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients come together in the most delightful way—simple pantry staples with that special Valentine’s Day twist. Grab your favorite Oreos and some colorful candy melts and you’re halfway there!

• Oreo cookies: I love using classic Oreos, but double-stuffed make assembly smoother and creamier.
• White chocolate chips or white candy melts: These melt beautifully for a smooth coating and sweet contrast.
• Milk or dark chocolate chips or candy melts: Choose your favorite chocolate flavor for dipping or drizzling.
• Lollipop sticks: Essential for those cute pops; make sure they’re sturdy to hold the cookie securely.
• Valentine’s Day sprinkles: Adds that festive flare – think hearts, red, pink, and white colors.
• Red or pink candy melts: Perfect for drizzling and giving your pops an extra pop of color.

Variations

I love making these Oreo pops my own by switching up colors and flavors. Don’t hesitate to customize yours—this recipe is super forgiving and fun to get creative with.

• Use flavored Oreos: I once tried mint Oreos for a refreshing twist, and my family went crazy for it!
• Different candy coatings: Swap white chocolate for peanut butter melts or add a hint of cinnamon to the melted chocolate for a subtle spice.
• Decorate with edible glitter or heart-shaped candies: Adds that extra special sparkle for Valentine’s Day celebrations.
• Make it vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate melts and vegan Oreo-style cookies for allergy-friendly treats.

How to Make Valentine’s Day Oreo Pops Recipe

Step 1: Prep Your Oreo Pops

Start by carefully twisting your Oreo cookies apart so the cream sticks to just one side. This is key to keep the filling in place when you insert the lollipop sticks. If you find the sticks a bit loose once inserted, I sometimes add a tiny dab of melted chocolate to the cream side to act like glue. Then, press the other cookie half gently back on top. Pop these into the freezer for about 5 minutes—it really helps them stay sturdy for dipping.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolates

Melt your white chocolate chips and milk or dark chocolate chips separately according to the package directions—usually, I use short bursts in the microwave and stir frequently to prevent burning. It’s such a satisfying moment when the chocolate is silky smooth and ready for dipping. If your chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or shortening to thin it out for a better coating.

Step 3: Dip and Decorate Your Oreo Pops

Now comes the fun part! Dip each Oreo pop completely into the melted chocolate; hold it over the bowl a few seconds to let excess drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and immediately add your Valentine’s Day sprinkles. If you want to get fancy, melt your red or pink candy melts and drizzle over the pops with a fork or piping bag. Let these beauties set at room temperature, or refrigerate to speed up the process.

Step 4: Serve or Wrap

Whether you’re arranging these treats on a platter or wrapping them in cellophane for gifts, these Oreo pops bring joy to any Valentine’s Day celebration. I especially love wrapping them up for my coworkers—it’s a little gift that’s so sweet and unexpected.

How to Serve Valentine’s Day Oreo Pops Recipe

Garnishes

For garnishes, I love loading on Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles—tiny hearts, red sugar crystals, and edible glitter add that extra magic. Sometimes I sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a pop of natural color and tangy flavor, which pairs beautifully with the sweetness.

Side Dishes

This recipe is a dessert on its own, but when I serve it alongside a warm cup of hot chocolate or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it turns into a full-on celebration. Fresh berries on the side add a refreshing balance as well.

Creative Ways to Present

One of my favorite presentation ideas is to arrange the Oreo pops standing upright in a decorated foam block covered with pink or red tissue paper. It makes an eye-catching centerpiece for a Valentine’s Day party table. Wrapping them individually with cute ribbons and name tags also makes an adorable party favor.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftovers (which is rare in my house!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature away from heat and humidity to keep the coating from melting or sweating. They stay fresh for about 2-3 days this way.

Freezing

I’ve frozen these Oreo pops wrapped in plastic wrap and placed inside a freezer-safe container. They freeze well for up to a month. When you want to enjoy one, just thaw in the fridge or at room temperature—avoid thawing near heat to prevent condensation.

Reheating

Reheating isn’t really needed for Oreo pops since they’re best enjoyed cold or at room temp, but if you want to soften the chocolate coating a bit, just let them sit out for 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving, or the cookie can become soggy.
