Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Oreo Cookies: iconic chocolate sandwich cookies for a firm creamy base
- White Chocolate Melts: smooth and sweet for the base coating
- Red Candy Melts: vibrant red for festive color
- Green Candy Melts: vibrant green for holiday theme
- Sprinkles: festive sugar crystals or nonpareils to add texture and charm
- Wax Paper or Parchment: for non-stick drying surface
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workstation: Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment to create a non-stick surface for your dipped Oreos. Set out your Oreo cookies, candy melts, and sprinkles within easy reach.
- Melt the Candy Melts: Using a microwave-safe bowl, heat your white, red, or green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and creamy. This ensures a perfect dipping consistency without burning the chocolate.
- Dip the Oreos: Hold each Oreo by the edges and dip it halfway into the melted candy. Gently tap off any excess coating, then quickly move to the next step before the chocolate sets.
- Add Sprinkles: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle your festive toppings over the dipped area. This adds both texture and holiday charm to your cookies.
- Let Them Set: Place the dipped Oreos on the prepared sheet and allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature, about 20-30 minutes. For faster setting, pop the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate melts for smooth melting and glossy finish.
- Dip Oreos halfway to showcase the cookie while adding festive color.
- Work quickly as candy melts harden fast; sprinkle immediately after dipping.
- Keep Oreos at room temperature to avoid chocolate seizing or cracking.
- Use a toothpick for detailed decorating or correcting small drips.
