Time1h 40min
Makes24 servings
Ingredients
- 24 OREO Cookies
- 2 oz. (1/2 of 4-oz. pkg.) white baking chocolate
- 4 oz. orange candy coating wafers, melted
- 48 mini candy button eyes (about 1 Tbsp.)
- 1 Tbsp. black decorating icing
Putting it together
- 1.Separate cookies, leaving creme filling on one half of each cookie. Place plain cookie halves, top sides down, in single layer on parchment-covered baking sheet.
- 2.Melt white chocolate as directed on package; spoon evenly onto cookie halves on baking sheet. Gently press one end of lollipop stick into melted chocolate on each cookie half. Cover with remaining cookie halves, creme sides down, to make sandwiches, gently pressing top cookies into chocolate to secure. Return pops to baking sheet. Freeze 10 min.
- 3.Spread tops of pops with melted candy coating. Add 2 mini candy button eyes to each pop as shown in photo. Use black icing to make lines on pops to resemble basketballs, then add 2 eyebrows and a mouth to each pop. Let stand 1 hour or until firm.
Tips and Tricks
Variation:Use chocolate or black sprinkles to make the eyebrows and mouths on pops instead of the black icing. Or, melt 1/2 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate as directed on package. Use melted chocolate to decorate the cookie balls instead of the black icing.
Variation:Omit white baking chocolate and orange candy coating wafers. Melt 6 oz. white candy coating wafers as directed on package. Use 1/3 of the melted candy coating to attach pop sticks to plain cookie halves. Spread tops of pops with remaining melted candy coating. Sprinkle with 2 to 3 Tbsp. orange sprinkles to coat tops, then decorate with candy button eyes and black decorating icing as directed.
Substitute:Prepare using wooden pop sticks instead of lollipop sticks.
Basketball Face OREO Cookies:These basketball face cookies are just as delicious when prepared without the melted white baking chocolate and lollipop sticks.
