Oreo Cookie Sucker Tutorial
December 11, 2009 by Shelley
I know, they are perfectly gorgeous.
We are so lucky to have our sweet {and oh so talented} friend, Jamie give us a tutorial on her famous cookie suckers. Boise local, Jamie, is a young mother of two adorable little boys. Jamie often shows up on one of our doorsteps with an amazing sweet creation. Jamie, thank you, thank you for teaching us how to make these.
What you’ll need: Oreos, Sucker sticks, Melting Chocolate, Sprinkles, sucker bags, and bag ties.
Melt Chocolate in 30 seconds increments until melted, stir often. {Jamie uses Wilton}
Dip a sucker stick into your melted chocolate. Open an Oreo and gently press the chocolate coated stick into the frosting center.
Put cookie back together and press gently…
Let dry for a few minutes…
Dip both sides of the cookie into melted chocolate.
Place on wax paper…
and get decorating…
sprinkle…
Or drizzle melted chocolate out of a ziplock bag…
Let Dry.
Wrap in cute little sucker baggies and twist tie shut…
And of course our Alison created the most adorable way to present these as a gift. The tutorial for this ‘sucker holder‘ will be posted within the next few days…
Enjoy! Thank You Jamie for sharing your creative talents!
What a perfect idea to add to our growing list of Neighbor Christmas Gift Ideas!

YUMMY and they look so easy to make! Thank you Jamie for sharing this quick and easy treat!
These are SO cute! I’d love to know where is the best place to find the sucker sticks and bags?? Thanks for another great idea!
I’ve found the sucker sticks and bags at Michaels, Joanns, and occasionally Walmart. They used to sell the bags with the silver ties but the past few times I’ve made these I’ve had to buy them separately…
Also there are three different size sticks (small,medium, and large) I like to use the medium ones.
TFS! So cute! I think I’ll make these for DD’s class!
What kind of chocolate is best to use? Melting chocolate or chocolate chips? I’d love to make these!
I’d recommend using melting chocolate. Wilton brand has a good variety. ( Wilton can be found in most craft stores and sometimes at Walmart)
Another tip to making these is if you are going to use sprinkles put them on right after you dip the cookie into the chocolate. And if you are going to drizzle put the dipped oreos in the fridge to harden first then drizzle.
Hobby Lobby has all their candy making supplies 30% off this week–I just got all my supplies there a few minutes ago. Now I’m off the make them!
I think JoAnns Wilton supplies are 30% off this week too!
Wow!! I will be making these sweet treats for both my boys classmates! Too cute and it looks super simple! Thank you so much for a great idea
What a cute idea…I have made these with MOON PIES. I never heard of the things before I moved south, so I am not sure if you can buy them north of the mason dixon. At any rate, they are cute but taste like cardboard…I will be attempting the oreos!! I use foam oasis in a dollar store bucket then wrap the entire thing in cellophane. Very cute gifts.
I made these today…so easy and so cute! Thank you for posting this! I put some crushed candycanes sprinkled on mine for Christmas!
I Made these for our family Christmas party and they turned out PERFECT! So easy and fun to make and not to mention SUPER YUMMY.. Thanks for all the fun ideas
aw These looks so yummy And I can’t wait to make them. thank you
love ,love, love these ! can,t wait to make them !
I like to but my melting chocolate discs at WinCo in their bulk bins. The flavor is great (not waxy like some) and you can buy as little or as much as you want!
Hey! I made these for Christmas time and they turned out so cute…i was thinking of making a new batch for Valentines too!
You have a super cute blog! Can’t wait to read more!
How far in advance can you make these? Please, let me know. Thanks, cindy
Do chocolate and Oreo’s have expiration dates?
I don’t know, but I bet they are good for a few days!
Could you freeze them if making them in advance?
Thats a good question. I am honestly not sure. I don’t see why not?! Jamie? Do you know?
So I wanted to make some suckers and make sure I knew how to do this before valentines day so I made some. I couldn’t get the sucker sticks to stay in and the cookies would break. figured out that the sticks were thicker than the filling so thought to myself, must have been the double stuff oreos. Then a light comes on and I read the tutorial again and find out that I should dip the sticks in the chocolate first, then put them in the cookie. Walla!!! It worked so much better. So, always read all the directions!.
Thanks Dana!
-Double Stuff Oreos would probably help make it a bit easier too!
dana – a year 1/2 later….i made the same mistake! went to the store, bought double stuff & had the same problem. thought i’d follow the pinterest link to the tutorial, and voila! found the trick!
I’m going to try this for Valentine’s Day. I’m a 4th grader and I think it’s a really good idea for my classroom treats. Thanks.
I can’t get my oreos to stay closed after I open them to put them on the stick
Did you dip your stick in chocolate first? Make sure you do! And let the chocolate dry before dipping. I used regular oreos, but I am sure double stuffed would be even better to help everything stay together.
so cute i’m gonna make some for valentine’s treats thank u for sharing
thank for sharing so cute i’m gonna make for my kids for Valentine’s Day
My grandma used to make these for my birthday (to bring to my school class.) She would always put a Skittle on the front in the middle which was always my favorite part.
thanks for the wonderful idea. I made these for my boys Valentine’s goodies this year and added another idea to turn them into rock guitars. I’ve linked to you on my blog so my family can see your blog too!
These look so good…and cute!
Those look awesome & so easy too! You have me inspired to go to the grocery store now. . .
I’m wanting to make these as wedding favours, did a trial run & when opening the oreo’s they kept breaking…any ideas or suggestions?
I’ve had that happen to me ONCE. Every last oreo in the package had a hairline crack in it. {ugh}. Something wrong with packaging I’m sure. Anyways,…make sure that isn’t the issue. Also make sure to use the melted chocolate on the stick and GENTLY press it in to the frosting and immediately put the top back on,…gently. Hope that helps. Usually this isn’t an issue. Maybe try the double stuffed?
Thanks Shelley, I tried double stuffed oreo’s & they pull apart without braking & will be using those. The bride & groom tried my samples & they love them, my children also tried my sample’s & my son said they were heaven on a stick. Now to make 250 of these, should be fun!!
Yay! Please show us the pictures!!
We’d love to see them.
My 3 year old daughter will love to make these with me! Thanks for another great idea!
I’m making these for my daughter’s birthday party and was just wondering if you know how far in advance I can make these, like can I make a batch, wrap and then freeze them?
.-= Shayna @ Texas Monkey´s last blog ..For You Friday – A Photo Book Giveaway For EVERYONE- =-.
I don’t see why not!? I’ve never tried freezing them in advance, but I’m sure it would work. Let us know!
{Sorry I can’t answer your question exactly} 
Shayna,
Did you freeze them in advance? I am going to be making these for my daughter’s birthday party as well and curious if you tried it.
Thanks,
cheryl
Hello, Just wondering if there is a tutorial for the “sucker holder”. I know it says there was going to be, but I didn’t find one. It is so adorable!
Thank you for this. Now I have a new type of lollipop to make! Has anyone tried making these with other Oreo flavors like the mint or the orange center they have during Halloween? Do they taste ok using those?
OOh that sounds yummy – I bet it would be delicious.
Whats the trick to get the chocolate to melt right? It seemed I may have over cooked it, so it wasn’t easy to just dip the cookies into the chocolate..
Great idea! I am having the hardest time keeping the sticks from pulling out of the cookies when I dip them. I have let them sit for a couple of hours before dipping. Any suggestions or special tips? Thank you!
Make sure you dip the stick in chocolate, put it in the sandwhich, and let it HARDEN before trying to dip the suckers. You can speed this up by sticking them in the fridge for a few minutes. Hope that helps!
Made these as party favors for my daughter’s 11th bday at the end of Oct. Since it was near Halloween, we used white chocolate and then regular sized chocolate chips as eyes to make “ghost pops.” Tied them off with orange ribbon. Too cute and a huge hit. Thanks for the idea!!
Has any one had trouble with the chocolate being goopy? I kept putting it back in the microwave until it was very well melted but when I dipped my oreos in it the look goopy not smooth like the pictures. Any suggestions? Thanks!
So, has anyone made these in advance? How long do they keep?
Just wanted to let you know that I featured your awesome Oreo suckers on my blog for a valentines day post. I also linked back to your site. Love your site, you have great ideas!
Hi, Love your site and I wanted to let you know I featured your Oreo Sucker on my blog for a valentines day post. I linked back to you guys

Great Idea – guess what i will be making for the next party!!!!
I love this idea… so easy yet so clever!
I have tried making my oreo cookie suckers twice now and I have made a big mess. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but mine are not pretty. My sticks will not stay in the oreos after they hit the chocolate. It’s like they melt out immediately. I let the sticks sit in the cookies with the icing for at least 10 minutes. Also, my chocolate is not smooth and pretty like yours. I have tried chocolate chips, almond bark and now I just bought the colored melting chocolate to try. I want to make these for my daughters b-day party, but noone will want to eat mine.
Use the disc melts, they will turn out soooo much smoother and prettier. I use the wilton brand. You can find the chocolate discs at michaels, joanns, etc. Hope that helps!!
I linked to this tutorial on my little blog at http://wadelmat.blogspot.com/ Thanks!
Will they melt?how long can they set ou?
They won’t melt at room temperature.
They can be out for several days, but I like to baggie them up. I’d say they are good for up to 7-10 days. Hope that helps. 
Can’t wait to make these! Thanks for the great instructions!
**FOR ANYONE WHO FOUND THIS A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SOUNDS: I just had my first attempt at these adorable lollipops. Out of approximately 40 cookies, I ended up with 15 cookies that broke as I was pulling them apart, 15 lollipops that broke or fell apart during dipping and 12 fantastic looking lollipops! Not the best of odds, but most of the 12 successes came towards the end when I had refined my skills. I think my second attempt will be much more successful. And I am absolutely thrilled with the 12, gorgeous lollipops I ended up with! Thank you for this terrific idea.
Hi,
Ive been wanting to make these. What size are the bags you used for wrapping?
Thanks!
OMG!!! You are an OREO genius!!!I absolutely love this!!My daughter will also enjoy this at her upcoming birthday party!!
I bought the wilton sticks but they are too thick for the cookie and the cookie won’t go back together. Did you use the double stuffed cookies?
no just normal oreos. Hum…maybe you bought thicker sticks? They should work.
I wondered how to get the stick in there!! Thanks
These are so cute! I would love to make these for Christmas. How soon can they be made? I am wondering how long they last in the packaging before giving them out?
Hello,
I also make the oreo pops, but i have noticed lately that all my oreo cookies are breaking??? Out of a bag of 36, i was only able to get 4, the rest all broke when i tried to put the stick on it. Do you have the same issue? not sure what is going on??
Thanks
My son has dairy allergies. Do you know if a dark chocolate will work for melting? I believe the Wilton Melts have whey. Can choc. chips work if you melt slowly and perhaps add shortening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. These would be so cute and yummy for his birthday party!
@jayesel: I buy the almond bark (which is just dipping chocolate and not a thing to do w/ almond) at Walmart. it’s much cheaper than wilton. probablynot the same taste, but it tastes good. and frankly, w/ the sprinkles, etc on it, you won’t notice the diff. The pkg for the almond bark says to stir in a little crisco (hard shortening, I think it says). that will keep it soft enough to dip.
