Pro Tips for Making Jack Skellington Oreo Pops
My Secret Trick: Dipping the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate before inserting it into the Oreo cookie ensures it stays put while decorating and serving.
When melting the chocolate, make sure to do it slowly and gently to avoid scorching. A double boiler method works a charm.
Be patient, let the white chocolate set properly before you start decorating the faces.
