Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Insert lollipop sticks into the cream filling of each OREO if using.
- Melt orange candy melts according to package directions, or prepare orange buttercream until smooth.
- Dip each OREO into the orange coating, covering completely. Tap gently to remove excess.
