I've seen lots of Oreo snowmen heads but they never have a body. I did a search and still couldn't find any although I did find these adorable snowmen heads.
I decided to have a go at making some using normal Oreo's and mini ones (from snack packs) but quickly learnt the key to good looking Oreo pops is doubled stuffed ones.
To make these snowmen you need,
Double stuff Oreo's
Snack packs of Oreo's
Lollipop or cake pop sticks
Candy melts
Things to decorate with.
Start by gently separating the 2 halves of the both the double stuff and mini Oreo's, be prepared for plenty of breakages, you can either 'glue' them back in place or enjoy eating them (would be awful to let them go to waste...).
Take the mini Oreos and using the candy melts 'glue' the top of the stick into them. You don't want to have any of the stick poking out of the top. 'Glue' the other half on.
Make a dent in the 'stuffing' of the larger Oreo, before 'gluing' the stick in and adding the other half on top. You want the big Oreo and mini Oreo to touch.
Put the Oreo's on sticks in the fridge for a few minutes to firm or have a cup of tea while enjoying the broken ones.
Dip the Oreo's on the stick in the candy melts, it helps if you add Trex/shortening to the candy as it will make a smoother coating. Stand them up to dry, I used a block of polystyrene but anything like that will work. When dry do a second coat then decorate.
These were decorated with coloured pearls and little tubes of writing icing.
Wrap in cellophane or eat straight away!
