Chocolate-Dipped Oreos

We made and delivered these fun chocolate-covered Oreos to our neighbors last year when the skies were still gray and we were all hoping for SPRING! The winters are looooong here in Utah, but these cookies proved to be a fun (and easy!) way to see some Spring color, even if the daffodils and tulips hadn’t started emerging yet.

You can switch up the flavors and look of your own chocolate-covered Oreos to fit any season, holiday, or celebration. Here’s how –

How to Make Chocolate-Covered Oreos

INGREDIENTS –

• OREOS – Any variety (double stuffed or regular) and any flavor works well!
• CHOCOLATE – For a variety of fun colors, you can use candy melts/ melting wafers. I used vanilla almond bark for our spring flowers, but chocolate chips and other melting chocolates work great. I’ve used
  • milk chocolate
  • dark chocolate
  • semi-sweet chocolate
  • white chocolate chips
• TOPPINGS + EXTRAS –
  • small candies – I love holiday M&M’s because they come in so many colors. We’ve made these for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Halloween just by swapping out the M&M’s that are available at the store!
  • sprinkles
  • crushed nuts or pretzels
  • crushed cookies

DIRECTIONS –

1. First, lay out some wax paper to cover your surface.
2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave according to the package directions.
3. Drop your Oreos, one at a time, into the melted chocolate.
4. Using a fork, lift the coated cookie out of the chocolate and gently tap the fork against the edge of the bowl a few times to remove excess chocolate.
5. Slide the cookie onto the wax paper.
6. While the chocolate is still soft, arrange/sprinkle candies to decorate them.
7. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature and enjoy!

RECIPE TIPS –

• You may need more chocolate, depending on how thickly you coat your cookies, but it’s best to work in batches and only melt a small amount of chocolate at a time.
• If you end up with extra chocolate, scrape the sides of the bowl into a sandwich bag and store it with your other chocolates.
• Gently brush excess crumbs off the Oreos before you dip them. It keeps the crumbs out of the dipping chocolate.
• Add your toppings/ M&M’s immediately after you dip a cookie, so you don’t risk getting interrupted or pulled away and left with a bunch of bare cookies!

STORAGE –

If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container, then store them in the refrigerator or on the counter at room temperature. Chocolate-covered Oreos can stay fresh in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
