Another great thing about making cake pops, their cost! Your average Starbucks cake pop will cost around $2, where here you can make 18-20 for around $6. Moreover, it can be done with just three simple ingredient: a bag of Oreos, cream cheese, and a bag of Wilton’s Candy Melts.

You can get Wilton’s at Michaels using their standard 40% off coupon (never pay full price at Michaels!) They are also available on online and a Wilton Primary Candy Color Set is offered at a great price! You could also use dipping chocolate from the grocery store – it’s white chocolate that comes in an ice cube looking tray found in the baking section.

You can make these Oreo cake pops ahead too! Make the entire pop a day ahead so you’re not rushing to dip the day of the party. To do this, just make sure the candy coating is set and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. So easy and so delicious, we all need Oreo cake pops in our lives!

Step-by-Step on How to Make Oreo Cake Pops

Step 1: Make the “Dough”

So easy. You could also use a blender if you didn’t have a food processor.

Blend it up.

Add in the cream cheese.

Easiest dough recipe ever!

Optional: Fold in sprinkles.

Put the dough in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill. Can refrigerate overnight as well.

Step 2: Roll into Balls and Chill

Time to roll the Oreo cake pops! Once you roll them, you will need to freeze them for about 10 minutes, so make room in the freezer for a tray of cake pops. You can work in batches if you don’t have room to fit an entire tray. Line a cookie sheet or plate with plastic wrap, parchment, or foil, and get rolling.

Each ball should be roughly two tablespoons, about the size of a meatball. Put on your lined tray when done. You should get about 18-20 cake pops from one batch of dough.

If using lollipop sticks, you can add them at this point. You could also use paper straws or no stick at all.

Put the cake pops in the freezer to chill while you make the candy coating.

Step 3: Dip and Sprinkle

This is the really fun part. Dipping and sprinkling. The sprinkles are optional and the cake pops are just as pretty when they are just dipped. You could even drizzle on a second color to really play in to your color scheme.

To make the dip, just pour the bag of candy melts in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for about 2 ½ minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. Once all of coating is melted and smooth, pour the mixture into a tall glass for dipping. Kids’ plastic cups are great for this because glass retains heat and you don’t want the candy melts too warm.

Dip your cake pops!

Step 4: Add Sprinkles

If you are using sprinkles or toppings, you want to sprinkle them on before the candy coating hardens. Have a separate bowl to the side where you sprinkle on the toppings.

Once the shell has hardened, you can put it on the lined pan. Tip: dip the bottoms (or tops) of cake pops in sprinkles so you can put them on the tray faster.

Three batches of Oreo cake pops in three different colors. Pretty, no?

Some of the Oreo cake pops made it onto a paper plate for a neighborhood party.

The others stood upright in a basket using foam to keep them put. Either way you display them, totally delicious and a definite crowd pleaser!

So with just three ingredients (optional fourth if you want sprinkles) you can have some delicious and oh-so-easy Oreo cake pops. Thank you Oreo, you saved the day again!
