Simple Patriotic Treat: Flag Oreo Pops
I’ve been making these Oreo pops for just about every occasion this year… Easter, Mother’s Day, Teacher Appreciation, Father’s Day… I couldn’t let 4th of July go by without creating a patriotic version!
They are so fun and so easy. My twin sons LOVE these pops and get so excited when I come up with another reason to make them.
So let’s get to it!
Materials for Patriotic Oreo Flag Pops
This post contains affiliate links. See Disclosures for more details.
I got most of my materials at Walmart. I linked them up in case you want to just add them to your cart!
Almond bark (3 squares for 10 Oreo pops; 4 squares for a dozen +, etc. Roughly, 1 square = 3 pops)
Double Stuff Oreos (make sure it’s Double Stuff or Mega Stuff!)
Tubes of red & blue writing icing (not gel!) (You can get a box of small tubes, or larger tubes with attachable tips)
Red baker’s twine (or ribbon, raffia, etc.)
You can see in the picture below the materials I used. Please note – I did not use the edible markers; they did not work well with the almond bark, so I used writing icing entirely.
Instructions for Baseball Oreo Pops
1| Melt almond bark
Melt bark in microwave starting for 1 minute, using a microwave safe bowl. Then, stop and stir in 30 second increments, so it doesn’t burn. Often, if there are still chunks, you can stir it and it will melt, without needing to microwave again.
2| Add sticks to Oreos
While bark is melting, add pop sticks to Oreos. Hold the Oreo firmly in your hand to keep the sides from separating. Insert stick in the cream of the Oreo, about 3/4 of the way through.
Generally, Double Stuff work best. However, I did use one batch of Double Stuff that cracked every time I put the stick in. I’ve made these several times, and that happened only once.
Mega Stuff can be a little heavy, but the idea is that you need more ‘stuff’ than just regular Oreos.
3| Coat Oreos with melted bark
Add a dollop of bark to the top of the Oreo and swirl it with a spoon to flatten.
Tap the stick on the side of the bowl so the excess chocolate will drip down the sides and create a flat surface.
Liberally add melted bark to the sides of the Oreo so the sides of the cookies are covered. Be sure to make sure the chocolate gets on the place where the stick meets the cream, to act as kind of a seal.
Tap again on the side of the bowl so the excess will drip off.
Finally, flip the cookie over and add a dollop of bark and swirl. Be sure to gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl so the excess chocolate drips off and create a flat surface on top.
4| Allow chocolate to harden
Place cookie pops on a piece of parchment paper or silicon baking mat on top of a baking sheet.
If using icing to decorate, allow it to air dry for a few hours. Or you can place them in the refrigerator or freezer to speed things up.
5| Decorate the cookies using writing icing.
To decorate, create a blue “square” on 1/4 of the cookie or just slightly less. You want the blue portion in the upper left corner.
Then, add lines of red to create the stripes like an American flag. I like to make mine wavy.
Then, add 3-4 white star sprinkles to the blue portion.
You can find some patriotic sprinkle mixes that have white stars. I couldn’t find any locally, so I ordered them from Amazon.
Allow icing to harden. You can put in the refrigerator to speed things up, but if left out on the counter, they will eventually dry.
6| Add cellophane wrappers & decorative tags if gifting
There are 4 different tag designs that you can get for free. Just fill out the specific box for this printable at the END of the post – not one of the generic, floating subscriber boxes in the middle of the post.
The tags are about 2″ x 2.75. ” I like to use a mini paper slicer to get nice, straight lines.
The sayings on the tags are:
God Bless America
Let Freedom Ring
Happy Birthday, America
Home of the Brave
You can also make them round, which can be cut with a 2″ circle punch.
I also like to use a 2.5″ circle punch on red and blue construction paper and glue the tag on those to give them a little extra prominence.
For best results, print on cardstock!
These pops can be used also as a treat for a school bake sale, fundraiser, or farmer’s market!
