Apples, School Buses, Chalkboards…. everything back to school. When it gets close to August, I get so excited about all things back to school – maybe it’s the former teacher in me. These Apple OREO Pops are so exciting as a first week of school snack, perhaps surprise the kids after the first day of school!

Ingredients:

Supplies:

Directions:

Separate your OREOs in half.
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt your chocolate melts on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Dip an end of a lollipop stick into your melted chocolate and place the stick onto one half of your OREO.
Add another dot of melted chocolate to the center of your Oreo on top of your lollipop stick and sandwich your cookie back together.
Let the cookies sit for about 10 minutes.
Roll out your green fondant into dime sized balls and shape into a small leaf.
Use the end of a knife to indent leaf lines into your leaves.
Break each pretzel in about 4 pieces to use for Apple stems.
Now hold your stick and dip your OREO into your melted chocolate, using a small spoon to make sure you cover the entire OREO.
Lay your chocolate covered OREOs onto a piece of parchment paper.
Place a fondant leaf and chocolate pretzel piece on the top of each OREO.
Once all your OREOs are covered transfer to a new piece of parchment paper and set in the freezer for 10 minutes.
