Ingredients

1 package Oreos use your favorite!
1 (12-ounce) bag purple candy melts

US - Metric

Instructions

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Gently separate Oreos by slowly twisting them apart. (Some will break. It’s okay; just try to be gentle.)
Separate purple candy melts chocolate into 3 parts (this keeps it from getting hard while you decorate) and place each section in a microwave-safe bowl.
Optionally add about 1/2 to 1 full teaspoon vegetable oil or shortening (more if needed to thin it even more).
Melt in 20 second bursts in the microwave, stirring for 20 seconds between each burst. Be patient and stir well to avoid burning the candy melts.
Dip one end of the lollipop stick into the melted candy melts and press that side into the cream side of the Oreo. Place the other half of the Oreo on top and gently press and hold.
Spoon melted chocolate over the Oreo pop evenly. Gently tap Oreo pop on the edge of the bowl to get the purple candy melts to cover the Oreo evenly and smoothly.
Immediately press one large edible eye in the center of the Oreo pop, or do an assortment of eyes (for example, three small eyes in the center).
Sprinkle purple Jimmie sprinkles over the edible eye(s).
Transfer the Oreo pops to the prepared sheet pan. Allow to harden at room temperature.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover chocolate-covered Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Keep them away from heat to avoid melting.
