Cookie Pop Halloween OREO Cake Pops

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bag of Oreo Cookie Pop Popcorn. 
  • 1 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 bag of mini marshmallows
  • Food coloring in green and purple
  • Black and white icing
  • Oreo cookie for the bat wings
  • Googley eyes, sprinkles or other decorative items

DIRECTIONS

  1. On low heat, combine your butter and marshmallows in a saucepan or dish on the stove. Stir until combined and gooey.
  2. Add your popcorn to the butter and marshmallow mixture. stir gently and fold in your popcorn.
  3. Separate your popcorn mixture into as many bowls as you are planning to make separate 'creatures' for. I separated into 3 bowls- one without any food coloring, one I added food coloring and the third I added purple. I prefer the gel food coloring.
  4. Grease your hands and scoop out about a cup of the mixture, then form into a ball. Set onto parchment paper.
  5. Decorate with googley eyes, sprinkles, oreos and black icing.
  6. If not eating immediately. store in an airtight container for 5-7 days.

MAKING YOUR BAT

To make a bat shape, cut an oreo in half. Using a knife wiggle it around a bit on the side of the popcorn ball to create a small gap. Place the oreo 'wing' in the hole so that it stays in place. Repeat on the other side.

MAKING A MONSTER POPCORN BALL

To make a 'monster,' I used green food coloring and black icing. This is my royal icing recipe, for detail work like the smile and scar I added a spoonful of powdered sugar to this recipe to thicken it up.

MAKING A MUMMY

To make a mummy, you don't need to add any food coloring to your popcorn. Add googley eyes and then drape thick icing (buttercream, royal, any type you prefer) with a wide icing tip around the popcorn balls creating the 'wrap'.
