Description
Chocolate-dipped Oreos are a delicious treat that combines the classic Oreo cookie with melted chocolate and optional sprinkles for decoration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 24 ounces candy melts (*see note)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate. Melt chocolate according to package directions. I do this in my microwave in 15-second increments, and stir until smooth. I like to melt two different kinds of chocolate (white and dark chocolate in two separate bowls) but you can use just one type of chocolate. Before dipping, you can also place some parchment under the bowl of chocolate so if any chocolate drips it’s quick to clean up.
- Dip the Oreos. Using a fork, place one oreo into the bowl of melted chocolate. Flip over the oreo, so it gets completely covered. Lift the oreo out of the chocolate with the fork, and tap on the side of the bowl and shake it gently back and forth letting the excess drip off into the bowl. Set onto the baking sheet.
- Decorate. And if adding sprinkles, sprinkle on now before chocolate hardens. Or instead of adding sprinkles, you can drizzle on a second chocolate. Let the first chocolate cool, then drizzle on an alternate chocolate (so if dipping in dark chocolate, then I drizzle on white chocolate, but you can use the same type of chocolate or skip the drizzle). Let the cookies sit until completely dry.
Notes
- You can use any color of candy melts for a fun variation.
- Store chocolate-dipped Oreos in an airtight container for up to a week.
