Creating Jack Skellington Oreo Pops can be simple and enjoyable! Follow these easy steps for success:

1. Prepare the Work Area: Start by gathering all your ingredients and equipment. Ensure your work surface is clean.
2. Melt White Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
3. Add Shortening: Mix in the vegetable shortening to give the candy melts a smoother consistency.
4. Dip Oreos:
– Carefully dip each Oreo fully into the melted candy melts.
– Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess candy coating to drip back into the bowl.
5. Insert Lollipop Sticks: While the coating is still wet, gently insert a lollipop stick into the center of each Oreo. Ensure it goes in about halfway to keep them stable.
6. Chill the Pops: Place the dipped Oreos upright in a Styrofoam block or similar holder, making sure they don’t touch each other. Put them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
7. Melt Black and Orange Candy Melts: Repeat the melting process for the black and orange candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls.
8. Decorate:
– Use the black candy melts to pipe Jack Skellington’s facial features on each pop.
– You may also melt the orange candy melts for fun designs or accents.
– If desired, you can add edible eyes for extra character.
9. Let the Decorations Set: Allow the decorated pops to set in the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes.
10. Serve: Once completely set, your Jack Skellington Oreo Pops are ready to be enjoyed!
