Yep, these are just Oreos on a stick.
you'll need: bag of Oreos, I used golden Oreo's so the color of the cookie doesn't show through
1/2 bag or so of Wilton chocolate melts in yellow
Wilton candy eyes
orange candy for beak (I used 1/2 an M&M, but you can use 1/2 jelly bean or skittle or any orange candy)
lollipop sticks
------ the sticks, melts and candy eyes can be bought at Michaels or a Wilton Store ------
I bought regular Oreo's but you might want to get double stuff so there's a little more room for the stick. My cookies broke but not a big deal, they were covered in chocolate anyway.
Melt your chocolate according to the package directions. I microwaved mine in a bowl, took about 6 minutes on defrost, but only heat for 1 minute at a time. Every microwave is different and you don't want to burn or scorch your chocolate.
I found it easier to first dip the lollipop stick into the chocolate and then insert it into the cookie. The stick doesn't need to be inserted quite so deep and therefore less chance of breaking the biscuit. Put enough chocolate on the stick so it will stick to the inside of the cookie. Once the stick is dried you can either dip your cookie in the chocolate or spread the chocolate over the cookie with a spoon or knife. I liked the spreading method better because I was afraid of my cookie falling off the stick lol. Once the cookie is covered in chocolate, lay it on a wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry.
Melt some more chocolate in a small zip lock bag. You don't need a lot. Once it is melted snip a small piece of the bag off the corner. Use the zip lock like a frosting bag, squeezing out the chocolate to make the 'curly q' of the chicks head, and "sticking" the eyes and beak onto the head.
Ta-da!! DONE. I wrapped mine individually only because I have a few days before my kids get here (and if I wrap them there is less chance of me eating them all :)). Fill a bowl with jelly beans to use as a base to plant your pops
