Carefully twist apart each Oreo cookie, keeping the cream filling attached to one side.

Dip the end of a lollipop stick into a small amount of melted chocolate and gently press it into the cream filling.

Place the other cookie half back on top and press lightly.

Arrange the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set completely.

This helps secure the sticks and keeps the cookies from falling apart during dipping.

Tip: If you find that regular Oreos crack too easily, try Double Stuf Oreos. The extra filling gives you a little more room to secure the stick.

Place your candy melts or melting wafers into separate microwave-safe bowls.

Melt according to the package instructions, stirring frequently until smooth.

If the chocolate becomes too thick for dipping, add a small amount of food-grade candy-melt thinning oil or vegetable shortening.

Avoid adding water, which can cause melted chocolate to seize.

Hold each Oreo by its stick and carefully lower it into the melted chocolate until completely coated.

Lift the cookie out and gently tap off any excess chocolate.

Place the dipped Oreo onto parchment paper or into a cake pop stand.

Add decorations while the coating is still soft, or use a little additional melted chocolate to attach decorations after it has hardened.

Now comes the fun part—turning those chocolate-covered Oreos into Halloween monsters!
