Hey Gal Pals, Summer is here and I don’t know about you but I’m headed poolside to max my relax. Summer to me is bright fun colors accompanied by chic patterns. So the inspiration for this DIY is Lilly Pulitzers’ Palm Springs Prints. Yaasss, she is the Queen of poolside chic-ness. So lets get started on these super simple yummy Cookie pops made out of Oreo Cookie Crumbs. 😳
What You’ll Need:
1 package Oreo Sandwich Cookies
4 oz. softened cream cheese
9 wooden popsicle sticks
1 popsicle silicone mold (found on Amazon)
1 bag each of white, yellow, blue candy wafers
4 microwave-safe bowls or double boiler
What You’ll Do:
1. Finely crush 24 cookies in a food processor.
2. In a large bowl, mix crumbs and softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to incorporate the two together until completely combined.
3. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4 inch balls and place on a wax paper-covered baking sheet. Reshape balls to look like the shape of the mold. Refrigerate until firm.
4. Melt candy wafers as directed on the package using a microwave-safe plastic bowl or double-boiler. Spread a small spoon amount of chocolate into each cavity. Pickup the mold and swirl the chocolate to coat the walls. Refrigerate 5 mins.
5. Add cookie shape to mold. Insert stick into the opening of the mold going through the cookie mixture. Cover the rest of the mold with remaining melted candy. Gently tap out any excess bubbles and it helps flatten the candy. Refrigerate 5 mins.
6. To take pops out: Gently peel away the mold starting at the top.
