Jack Skellington Oreo Pops

These Jack Skellington Oreo Pops are a perfect festive treat for Halloween, offering a fun twist on a classic cookie. They combine the creamy richness of Oreos with a smooth white chocolate coating and a spooky yet charming handdrawn design that captures the spirit of the holiday without fuss or baking.

I made these for a Halloween party last year and they were the biggest hit among both kids and adults alike. Their playful look and easy assembly make them a recipe I keep coming back to every fall.

Ingredients

• Oreos: classic or doublestuffed offer that perfect balance of chocolate cookie and creamy filling
• Lollipop sticks: to make holding and eating easy and messfree
• White chocolate: white chocolate or candy melts create a smooth, sweet coating that hardens nicely
• Black edible marker: black edible marker or icing gel for drawing Jack’s iconic face with precision and a fun artistic touch
• Notes: Choosing Oreos with intact cream centers is important so the sticks can be inserted without breaking the cookie apart. Use good quality white chocolate for a smoother dip and better flavor.

Instructions

Open Oreos and insert sticks:

Gently twist open each Oreo to reveal the cream center. Insert a lollipop stick straight into the cream, adding a small dab of melted white chocolate to secure the stick and prevent it from falling out. Carefully close the cookie around the stick to hold it firmly.

Dip in white chocolate:

Using a fork or hand, fully submerge the Oreo pops into the melted white chocolate. Lift and let excess chocolate drip off to avoid heavy buildup. Place each dipped Oreo on a parchmentlined tray to cool and set without sticking.

Draw Jack Skellington’s face:

Once the chocolate coating has hardened completely, use a black edible marker or icing gel to draw Jack’s smiling face. Take your time with this step his expressive eyes, stitched smile, and nose are what make these pops truly iconic.

Let dry and serve:

Allow the decoration to dry fully before handling, packaging, or serving. This prevents any smudging and ensures your pops look as neat as possible.

I have a soft spot for the Oreos in this recipe. They bring the perfect crunch and cream combo that pairs beautifully with the festive white chocolate coat. My kids always ask to help decorate them because it feels like a mini art project at home during Halloween.

Storage tips

Store the pops in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain the white chocolate coating. Avoid the fridge as condensation can cause the coating to become dull or sticky. They keep well for about 3 days, so enjoy them fresh for best texture.

Ingredient substitutions

If you cannot find black edible markers, use thin piping bags filled with melted dark chocolate for drawing. Substitute white chocolate with vanilla candy melts or almond bark depending on preference. For dietary restrictions, vegan or dairyfree versions of candy melts are available.

Serving suggestions

Place pops upright in a decorated Styrofoam block for an impressive Halloween display. Pair with a bowl of caramel popcorn and pumpkin spice drinks to create a spooky party table. They also make excellent favors when wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with Halloween themed ribbons.

Enjoy these festive Oreo pops fresh for best texture. Theyre a fun project for kids and adults alike.
