Servings: 36
Calories: 158kcal
Ingredients
- 18.2 ounce package Oreos (family size)
- 6 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 24 ounces Orange Candy Melts
- 11 ounce bag of Butterscotch Chips
- Green Icing tube
Instructions
- Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor for 2 minutes until they resemble a fine crumb.
- Add cream cheese and continue blending until the mixture is smooth and free of any chunks.
- Using a one tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, make 36 rounded balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill cake balls for 25 minutes or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe container, melt candy melts as per package directions, and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Insert the end of the stick into the melted candy and then insert it into one end of the cake ball. Allow to chill for 5 minutes in the fridge.
- Once the stick has hardened around the cake ball, dunk the cake pop into the melted candy and rotate it to let any excess candy drip off.
- While the candy coating is still soft, add a butterscotch chip on the top for a stem.
- Apply the green icing to make leaves and vines.
- Once the cake pop coating has set, place the cake pops into a Styrofoam block to serve.
Notes
Make sure to only use regular Oreos (do not use double stuff Oreos).
It is important when chilling your cake pops to do so in the fridge for the recommended time instead of quickening up the process and putting them in the freezer. Doing so will cause them to sweat when coated with the candy.
Keep your finished Pumpkin Cake Pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll stay fresh for up to 4 days. For best results, place a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Before serving, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
