These Grinch Oreo pops make a fun Christmas treat to make with the kids. Perfect for a Grinch movie night or fun Christmas party idea!
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas shows of all time and we watch it at least a few times every Christmas. {I’m talking about the original version – I wasn’t too big a fan of the Jim Carey version. lol!} We even had a Grinch party one year with all of the kids’ friends. Whether or not you’re actually hosting a party or not, these cute little Grinch Oreo pops are a fun Christmas activity to do with the kiddos.
Grinch Oreo Pops
These cute Grinch Oreo pops are a fun Christmas treat to make with the kiddos! Perfect for a Grinch movie night or Christmas party.
Ingredients
- 8 Oreo cookies
- wooden skewer sticks {or thin sucker sticks}
- green candy melts {I used about half a package for 8 pops}
- banana marshmallows
- black edible ink pen
- large red sprinkle for the nose
- strawberry marshmallows
- mini marshmallows
- toothpick
- white mini cupcake liners
Instructions
-
Melt chocolate melts in the microwave according to package directions. Be careful not to overheat.
-
Cut banana marshmallows into small almond shapes for the eyes and use the edible ink pen to draw in an eyeball.
-
Insert skewer into the center of the Oreo.Spread chocolate around all sides of the cookie.Add eyes and the sprinkle for the nose.Place on parchment paper and allow chocolate to harden.
-
Spread out cupcake liners, turn it upside down, and pierce skewer through the center.
-
NOTE: My original plan was to draw on a mouth with the edible marker, however, it did not draw well over the chocolate and I just decided to skip it. If you would like to do a mouth, you could try using a toothpick to carve it out of the chocolate before it hardens.
If you find the strawberry marshmallows hard to find, you could always use a small strawberry. To display a bunch of the Grinch Oreo pops at a party, I just used a styrofoam block in a little vase and then covered the top with a white pom pom garland.
And if you want to add in a couple of healthier Grinch snacks, you could always try one of these….
“Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” Probably the best line of the movie! 🙂 I hope you enjoy these!
