Equipment

1 Food-safe black marker
15 cake pop sticks

Ingredients

25 oreo cookies ground
3 tbsp coconut oil
5 oz cream cheese softened
⅔ cup green chocolate melts
⅔ cup orange chocolate melts
⅔ cup white chocolate melts
5 Good and Plenty candy for ghost arms
Red frosting gel

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground oreos and cream cheese. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and mixture is a dough-like consistency.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop an even amount of the mixture and ball it in your hand. Place each on a prepared sheet of parchment. Repeat 14 more times.
Make sure to shape 5 of the balls like ghosts (slightly triangle shaped) then take two Good & Plenties and stick them into the side of each ghost pop to create arms.
Melt a tiny bowl of the melting chocolate and dip the tip of cake pop stick into the chocolate and then place it ¾ of the way into an oreo pop. Repeat for all the pops. Place the pops in the fridge to set for 10 minutes.
Once the pops have set, melt each color of the chocolate melts in the microwave for 30-second increments (low power) until fully melted and smooth. Stir in 1 tbsp coconut oil into each color.
Gently dip a ghost-shaped oreo pop into the white melted chocolate, getting an even coating. Allow the excess to drip off then place it back on the parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining ghost-shaped oreo pops.
Next, dip an oreo pop into the orange melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place it on the parchment then repeat with 4 more oreo pops. These will be your jack-o-lantern pops.
Last, dip the remaining 5 oreo pops in the green melted chocolate (one at a time). Allow the excess to drip off and then place them on the parchment. These will be your poisoned apple pops.
Place the parchment-lined tray in the fridge to set for 20 minutes.
Once the pops are set, take your red frosting gel and create drips off of the green pops to create a “poisoned apple” look. Set them back on the parchment.
Using your food-safe marker, draw eyes and a mouth on your jack-o-lantern pops and on your ghost pops.

Notes

Using a tbsp of coconut oil in the melted chocolate will slightly thin out the chocolate and make dipping each oreo pop easier. If your chocolate still seems too thick, add a tsp of coconut oil at a time until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
You can do it by hand with a meat cleaver or hammer, but it is easiest to ground the oreos using a food processor.
If you do not have green or orange melting chocolate, you can use white melts and food coloring to get your desired color.
