Step 1

Add the cookies and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix until the cookies are small crumbs.

Step 2

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop up and roll small balls, about one inch. Place them on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.

Step 3

Melt 1/4 cup of the candy melts (according to package directions). I used the microwave method to melt them in short intervals.

Step 4

Dip the sticks into the candy melts and insert them into each cake pop ball. Freeze for a couple of hours on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 5

Remove from the freezer and then melt the remaining candy melts. Place in a taller cup or jar.

Step 6

Dip the cake pops in the melted candy coating. I find it easier to dip straight down and up. Tap the excess off and add sprinkles. Place the cake pops back on the parchment paper, in a jar, or inserted them into a piece of styrofoam to hold them straight up until set. Enjoy!
