Directions:
Melt red chocolate melting chips in microwave, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip the bottom half of each Double-Stuffed Oreo into the red chocolate. Gently slide a lollipop stick directly through the center of the Oreo cookie (through the white filling in the middle) and stop just before it comes out the other end. Lay on waxed paper for the red chocolate to dry.
Hint: If you are having troubles with the Oreos breaking, pop the Oreos in the microwave on defrost for 10 seconds before you dip them in red chocolate and insert the sticks so the centers will soften up and the stick will slide right in.
Rub a dark chocolate melting chip on the side of a hot kettle to slightly melt it, and gently insert between the biscuits. Repeat for the other ear. When the icing is dry, add two dots of white icing (I used a tube of white icing) for Mickey’s buttons. Store in an airtight container, and refrigerate if the weather is hot!
If you want to give them as party favors, pop each one into a cellophane bag, then tie a little ribbon at the bottom.
This is such a wonderful idea! I'm having my son's birthday party next month and would love to make these. How far in advance do you think these can be made? Thanks, Heather
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! I would probably make them 2-3 days in advance, just keep them in a cool place. I don't think I'd make them more than a week ahead of time though. Have fun making them! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst let me congratulate you, I love your site. What do you use for the ears?
ReplyDeleteHi Alex. Thanks so much for your comment. I used milk chocolate melting chips for the ears. Bags of them can be found at stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! How much of the red chocolate did you have to buy?
ReplyDeleteI just bought one bag and probably used only 1/2 - 3/4 of it.
ReplyDeleteHi I was wondering where did you get the lollipop sticks and bags?
ReplyDeleteI bought the sticks and bags at Michaels. Most arts & crafts stores carry them.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!!! What a great job!!!! I've never seen red chocolate. Where could I buy it?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. How did you got the ears to stick?
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa! Just melt a little chocolate off one side of the chocolate melting chip then press against the side of the Oreo. Once the chocolate dries, the ears will be nice and secure.
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect. Our daughter, McKinley (Mickey) is turning 4 in July and adores anything Mickey Mouse. Such a fun treat-thanks. Great blog. I'll be back. Janet
ReplyDeleteO wow! I just happened upon your blog by chance and I'm so glad I did. These are fantastic. Will have to try them out sometime. Thanks so much for including the step-by-step!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable!!! I am going to share a link with my readers tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteLorie,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking to my blog! I'm so glad you like these Mickey Mouse Oreos. They are a lot of fun to make!
Perfect for my daughter's 4th bday next month! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! thanks for the tutorial! seems easy enough... but with folks like me out there, a step by step is definitely needed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Where did you buy your red chocolate though? I don't think I've ever seen that... :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Gretchen - I found the red chocolate melting chips at Michael's. Do you have a Michael's or even a Hobby Lobby in your area? If not, you can also purchase them online through Amazon. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeletesuper excited to have stumbled upon this! my son's second birthday party is this weekend and it's Mickey Mouse themed :D definitely making these!
ReplyDeleteI have been a MM fan for years! I will be making these for my Great-Grandchildren
ReplyDeleteHi, these are adorable! What size bags and lollipop sticks did you use?
ReplyDeleteHi I love these pops. I'm making them for my Grandson's first Birthday on Saturday. Made them this morning but the sticks are sliding out now. How did you get the sticks to stay in?
ReplyDeleteMomma G,
ReplyDeleteDid you use the double-stuffed Oreos? Also, make sure you only push the stick about 2/3 the way in.
Hi Kathie,
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I am in process of helping a friend with a Disney wedding in fall 2012. I think we may have to make these for the shower or work them in somehow to the wedding. I love them. Great job!

These are so cute! We're planning my son's 2nd bday party and these would be great as favors. What an awesome idea! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteKathie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. I did these for Valentine's day and used Snackwells' chocolate covered mini pretzels for the ears and they turned out pretty cute:) I couldn't find the red chocolate so I ended up dying white chocolate red (which took half a bottle of red dye) and white non pareils for the buttons. Still turned out really cute. Thanks again!
Great idea! My daughter is 2 soon and I wanted to do a Minnie cake for her, I am going to do this but do pink for the pants and pipe a bow between the ears! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteMaking these for my kids' 2 and 4 year joint bday part a month before we go to Disney. Question: Do you think using icing tube for white buttons is easier than just dropping ball sprinkles, like nonpariels, or no? The white ball sprinkles are much cheaper than tube icing, plus tips, but I am afraid I'll hit my fingers on the chocolate b/c I'd have to do it before the chocolate hardens, instead of after.
ReplyDeleteWhite nonpareils would work great too! Dropping them on while the icing is still wet would not be difficult and you could always have a toothpick on hand if you needed to move it a tad after dropping in on the icing. Either option would look great so just do whichever you feel more comfortable doing. I'm sure they will look great and your kids will love them!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! My son's 1st bday is coming up next month and we are doing a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme. These are perfect and seem pretty easy to make. Thanks for such step by step directions. I'm excited to try them out!
ReplyDeleteThese just made me smile!! :D
ReplyDeleteI am making them this weekend for my daughter's 3rd b-day party.... along with minnie mouse cupcakes :) Thank you
ReplyDeleteDo they make other colors of chocolate melting chips? I would love to do this as Minnie ones. Pink would be awesome! Just wondering if you knew. THese are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYes! They definitely have pink chocolate melting chips. That would look cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathie! All i can find is red candy melts by wilton,is that the same?
DeleteDid you have any problems with the ears melting during the party? I tested this out and it seems that the ears melted quite fast. I'm worried because the party is outdoors in a garden and I don't want them to melt. Is there a better chocolate to use or method to make the shape?
ReplyDeleteHow did you melt the chips for ears?
ReplyDeleteHey there! Just wanted to let you know we featured you in our Favorite Find Fridays post over at Whimsically Homemade. We used one of your pictures. If that's a problem let us know and we'll remove it immediately. Thanks for your great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi! I want to make these for my sons 2nd birthday, After dipping the cookies in the red chocolate, did you have to freeze them to harden the chocolate or is that not needed?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you watermarked your pic...Saw this on Pinterest from a generic source, but was still able to find you :) I'll be including these in a Diney-round-up post tomorrow!
