Halloween just wouldn’t be Halloween in our house without these adorable Oreo witch hat pops! I still remember the first time I made them—my niece squealed so loud when she saw them at our family party that she scared the cat right off the counter. The best part? These spooky treats couldn’t be easier to whip up. Just Oreos, chocolate, and sprinkles transform into the cutest little witch hats you ever did see. They’re perfect for classroom parties, boo baskets, or just satisfying your own sweet tooth while binge-watching Halloween movies. Trust me, once you see how simple and fun these are to make, you’ll want to whip up a batch every October!

These little witch hats aren’t just cute—they’re downright magical for busy Halloween prep! Here’s why they’ve become my go-to treat every October:
- Super quick: You can whip up two dozen in under 30 minutes (perfect for last-minute party panic!)
- No baking required: Just melt, dip, and decorate—even little hands can help
- Total crowd-pleasers: Kids go nuts for them, and adults sneak extras when no one’s looking
- Endlessly customizable: Swap sprinkles, use different chocolates—make them your own!

Ingredients for Oreo Witch Hat Pops
Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re already halfway to witchy deliciousness! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 24 Oreo cookies (keep them whole—no twisting apart or you’ll lose the hat shape!)
- 12 oz chocolate melting wafers (chop them if they’re big—I like the candy melts from the craft store)
- 24 lollipop sticks (6-inch ones work perfectly—no need for fancy sticks here)
- 1/4 cup orange sprinkles (go for Halloween-themed ones with bats or jack-o-lantern shapes for extra fun)
Pro tip: Buy extra Oreos—you will snack on a few while working!
How to Make Oreo Witch Hat Pops
Okay, let’s get witchy! These Oreo witch hat pops come together so easily you’ll think you’ve got magic powers. The best part? No oven required—just follow these simple steps and you’ll have a coven of cute treats in no time!
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
First, grab your chocolate wafers and pop them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring well between each zap—this prevents scorching! When the chocolate is smooth and drippy (but not smoking hot), you’re ready. If it gets too thick, just reheat for 5-10 more seconds.
Step 2: Assemble the Oreo Pops
Now for the fun part! Take your whole Oreos (don’t twist them—we need them sturdy!) and gently push a lollipop stick into the filling. Go slow so you don’t crack the cookie. About halfway in is perfect—enough to hold but not poke through.
Step 3: Dip and Decorate
Here comes the magic! Dip each Oreo pop straight into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat completely. Immediately roll in orange sprinkles—do this while the chocolate’s wet so they stick. Pro tip: Hold over the bowl to catch sprinkles (and save the mess!).
Step 4: Let Them Set
Lay your chocolate-covered Oreo witch hat pops on parchment paper to dry. They’ll need about 15 minutes—just enough time to clean up your sprinkle explosion! Don’t touch them until the chocolate hardens or you’ll leave fingerprints (spooky, but not the effect we want!).
Tips for Perfect Oreo Witch Hat Pops
After making dozens (okay, maybe hundreds) of these Oreo witch hat pops, I’ve learned all the tricks to avoid any Halloween kitchen disasters! First off—if your chocolate starts thickening up, don’t panic! Just pop it back in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and give it a good stir. Too-hot chocolate? Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t slide right off the cookies. And here’s my favorite hack: keep a toothpick handy to fix any bare spots after dipping. Work fast with the sprinkles—once that chocolate sets, those little decorations won’t stick! If you’re making these with kids, put down parchment paper first because sprinkles will go everywhere, and that’s half the fun!
Variations for Oreo Witch Hat Pops
Who says witch hats have to be orange? Mix it up with these fun twists! Swap the chocolate for white candy melts—they look amazing with black sprinkles for a “witchy” monochrome effect. Purple and green sprinkles scream Halloween too! Feeling extra? Add edible glitter for magical sparkle. The possibilities are endless—just like a witch’s spell book!
Storing and Serving Oreo Witch Hat Pops
These pops stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3 days—if they last that long! I like to layer them between parchment paper so they don’t stick together. Perfect for classroom parties or as spooky place settings at your Halloween dinner—just stick them in mini pumpkins for extra flair!
Nutritional Information for Oreo Witch Hat Pops
Okay, let’s be real—these witchy treats aren’t health food! But for those curious, here’s the scoop (based on standard brands): each pop runs about 120 calories, with 6g fat and 15g carbs. Exact numbers vary depending on your chocolate and sprinkles, but hey—it’s Halloween! Live a little!
Common Questions About Oreo Witch Hat Pops
I get asked about these adorable Oreo witch hat pops all the time—so here are the answers to everyone’s burning questions! First up: yes, you can totally use other cookies! Mint Oreos make gorgeous emerald witch hats, and golden Oreos look amazing dipped in white chocolate. They’ll last about 3 days at room temperature (if hidden from sneaky snackers!). Freezing? Absolutely! Just wrap them well—the chocolate might lose a tiny bit of shine, but they’ll still taste magical after thawing. Now go make some spooky magic!
