  • 1 tbsp vegetable shortening for thinning
  • Gold Sprinkles
  • Sucker Sticks

Instructions

  • Break the 30 Oreo cookies into pieces and pulverize in a food processor.Mine is about the texture and size of corn meal.
  • Mash the softened cream cheese with the cookie crumbs until well incorporated and no white remains.
  • Line a small pan with wax paper.
  • For the large pops, scoop 2 Tablespoons, form a ball, and place on wax paper.
  • For the small pops, scoop 1 Tablespoon, form a ball, and place on wax paper.
  • Place pan in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Melt five of the chocolate melts and dip the sucker stick tips in, then place one in each ball.
  • Chill for two minutes.
  • Melt the Mint chips at 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring until melted.
  • Slightly flatten the balls, then dip them in the mint melts, lightly tapping the excess on the side.
  • Place the sticks in some kind of base to harden.
  • Melt the black melts and the shortening in the microwave in 30 second intervals.
  • Dip the balls in the melts so that they are now double coated.
  • Put some of the black melts in a ziplock bag, snip a small corner and pipe on the cauldron rims and handles.
  • Fill the “top” of the cauldron with a scarce amount of melted chocolate, then immediately pour the gold sprinkles.
