Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 pops
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 package waffle mix
- 1 cup water (for waffle mix)
- 8 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and gathering all ingredients and tools.
- In a mixing bowl, prepare the waffle mix according to package instructions, combining the dry mix with 1 cup of water. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease the surfaces with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour small amounts of waffle batter into the waffle iron, creating thinner waffles that will be easier to work with for the pops.
- Cook waffles until golden brown and crisp, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.
- While waffles are cooling, crush 4-5 Oreo cookies into small, chunky pieces using a rolling pin or food processor.
- Melt milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully melted.
- Cut cooled waffles into smaller, pop-sized rectangles or circles.
- Insert a lollipop stick carefully into one end of each waffle piece, ensuring it's secure but not tearing the waffle.
- Dip each waffle pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Tap off excess chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed Oreo pieces and rainbow sprinkles over the chocolate while it's still wet.
- Place mini marshmallows strategically on the chocolate surface for added texture and flavor.
- Arrange waffle pops on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle additional melted chocolate or add more sprinkles before serving.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare your waffle mix and crush the Oreos in advance. This way, you can quickly assemble the pops when you're ready to cook!
- Waffle Iron Tips: Ensure your waffle iron is preheated and greased properly to prevent sticking. Thinner waffles will hold together better for pops, so don’t overfill the iron.
- Chocolate Melting: When melting chocolate, do it in short intervals and stir in between to prevent burning. You can also add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate for a smoother finish.
- Creative Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Try adding crushed nuts, different types of candy, or even drizzling with colored chocolate for extra flair.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be enjoyed cold, or you can briefly reheat them in the microwave for a warm treat.
- Serving Suggestions: For a fun presentation, serve these pops in a decorated cup or with a side of dipping sauce, like chocolate or caramel, for an extra indulgent experience!
