Inside: I cannot wait for summer this year, or Shark Week this year, or anything…nor can I wait to devour a million bites of these Shark OREO Pops. No kidding, they’re amazing.
Let me start by saying that I did not set out to make these Shark Oreo Pops for any real particular reason other than I kind of wanted a chocolate-covered OREO and I didn’t want to drive to the store.
So, laziness.
But then, I opened the pantry and low-and-behold! There was a bunch of blue Wilton Melting Chocolate (paid link) just sitting there, taking up space.
Thus, the idea was born.
Also, I love sharks.
Not so much the biting–but they’re pretty cool creatures if you stop and learn a bit about them, like during Shark week…if it’ll EVER get here.
These are so easy, I even made you a little video to show how they come together.
So, check that out and then get ready to make your own…

Oh, and if you don’t know how to decorate your Shark Oreo Pops, that’s ok. Just grab some icing and go to town.
If it’s messy, just tell the kids that the shark ate something and got blood everywhere. They’ll laugh and laugh.
Don’t forget to also pin these Shark Oreo Pops, so that you can find them again when Shark Week comes by in July (if it will ONLY get here, sigh).
