Best Halloween Sweet Treats

halloween oreo pops

These Oreo pops are about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and are amazingly simple to make with the video in the post below.  

Some supplies you will need to make these pops include a cake pop stand.

I really like this Cupcake and Cakepop Display Carrier because you can use it for storing cakes and cupcakes as well to save room in your kitchen with a multipurpose tool.  

You’ll also definitely need parchment paper to lay the Oreo pops on after making, so they harden.  

This is a really fun project and a treat the kids will love!
