Say I Do... to Oreo Cake Pops!

Congratulations to Whitney & Collin Norrbom who tied the knot last weekend!  In addition to being an amazing, fun-loving couple, they sure know how to plan a party.  Let's just say my calves are still sore 3 days later from all of the dancing!  I had the privilege of accenting their classy & cheerful wedding with bright orange, pink, and green Oreo cake pops.  If you haven't tried making cake pops, check out the original recipe here.  Oreo pops are my favorite because they are a simple and sinfully delicious twist on the original!

If you're looking for a fun way to present cake pops for a wedding, party, or gift, I've got some good news for your wallet - all the supplies can be purchase at the dollar store! Just pick up jars or mugs, styrofoam, ribbon and shredded paper at the 99 cent store, Target, or craft store.  Cut the styrofoam so it just fits inside the jar or mug.  Stuff shredded paper or tissue paper around the styrofoam, and decorate with ribbon.  It's that simple!

I had a blast doing this project, and the guests seemed to be quite pleased... let's just say the cake pops were all gone before dinner ;)  Thanks to mom for helping with the prep & hubby for sampling, set up, and photography.


{Oreo Cake Pops}
Ingredients:
1 package Double-Stuff Oreos
1 package cream cheese, room temperature
1 package white chocolate candy pieces (14 oz)
25 Candy Sticks
Sprinkles
Vegetable Oil
Styrofoam block

1. Crush the Oreos with a food processor or blender.  Beat cream cheese until fluffy.  Mix in Oreos
2. Roll into small balls (approx. 1.5" diameter).  Melt 5 chocolates (30-45 seconds).  Dip 1/2" of stick in chocolate, then insert in Oreo ball (this helps it stick).  Place on wax-paper lined baking tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
3. Remove Oreo pops from freezer.  In a mug or tall glass, mix remaining chocolates with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and microwave in 30 second increments until melted.  Insert Oreo pop into chocolate.  Spin/tap on edge of glass to remove excess chocolate.  Immediately coat with sprinkles if desired.  Chill on styrofoam block.  Enjoy!
