Oreo Cookie Pops

[maddy]

I had so much trouble melting both the brown and white chocolate tonight and they simply are not worth taking a photo of.

How do you melt your chocolate Judy?
I am having success by melting the nestle melts on 50% power for 1 min., then stir with a knife, then give 10 second bursts (50% power), until the chocolate is almost all runny.  I then tip it into my electric fondue pot, add 2-3 Tbsp. melted copha, good stir.....then it's perfect dipping consistency.
I do prefer using biscuits (choc mint slice being my fave!), and I think the firmer consistency stands up well for inserting the sticks and dipping.

I can't wait to show you what I did for a Mothers Day treat.....using the stand  ......but photobucket is having issues and I can't upload my photos yet
My Mum was thrilled!......and the stand I think was worth every cent

Maddy, I melted the chocolate this time in the microwave (usually do it in the TMX without any problems) at 50% - sort of like what you said but I add coconut oil to it instead of copha.  Maybe I did it a tad too long though as it didn't do what it usually does.  Not a problem, no one knew I was making them and in the end I forgot to take them  and the bottle of liqueur I made for DD anyway.
Look forward to your lovely pictures.

Told hubby the stand doubles up for cupcakes too    think he was quietly pleased I bought one, instead of my continual nagging to make one

maddy that is so gorgeous!  where did you find the lacy white cupcake papers?

[Cuilidh]

What a stunning display - I'm left speechless and jealous!  So much time and love spent on those treats.

[judydawn]

It certainly works well for a display of both items, certainly well worth buying maddy.  Love your photos and admire you for your talent - mine would never look like that in a million years.

They are really awesome Maddy.

Thank you lovelies    I enjoy making them.

maddy that is so gorgeous!  where did you find the lacy white cupcake papers?

From "House" kitchenware.  If your careful unwrapping them, you can re-use them.  You can also buy other gorgeous designs  on the net.

I've just ordered 4 of those little cupcake pop molds.  Ca't wait to get them.  From her site they were $22.95 + $15.00 postage for the lot.

Hi Peps  ....How did you go with them?  Are you giving some as presents?

[KarenH]

Hi Maddy - I challenge you to make some Geelong Cats cake pops 

[maddy]

LOL Karen.....that would be a challenge! 
We'll see what happens 

[judydawn]

You can do it maddy     Take a pile to the footy and they'd be sold in no time

Oh Maddy! The mint slice ones!  We love them and I haven't even coated them yet. Will definitely have to make another couple of batches for Xmas as these ones are not going to last past tomorrow!

Oh Maddy! The mint slice ones!  We love them .......

Same here - I made 2 batches yesterday - one with white tim tams with a handful of cranberries thrown in with the biscuits as well as the mint slice variety into which I put some pistachioes.
