Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Bat Oreo Pops Recipe
Step 1: Preparing the Oreo Cookies
Carefully twist apart each Oreo. Insert a lollipop stick into the cream center, then press the cookie back together. Set aside on parchment paper.
Step 2: Assembling the Bat Wings
Take extra Oreos, split them, and cut the chocolate wafer cookies in half to form wings. Each wing should resemble a crescent shape.
Step 3: Adding the Lollipop Sticks
Melt a small amount of candy melts. Use the melted chocolate as glue to attach the wings to each Oreo pop. Let them set for a few minutes.

Dip each Oreo pop into melted black candy melts until fully coated. Place on parchment paper to harden. While still wet, press on two candy eyes. Allow to cool completely before serving.
