Chocolate Covered Oreo Christmas Cookies
Chocolate covered Oreo Christmas cookies are dipped in colorful candy melts, chilled until set and decorated with sprinkles and icing. They’re festive and easy to make.
Servings: 40 cookies
Equipment
- Scoop
- Spatula Small or a Spoon
- Bench Scraper Optional
Ingredients
- 1 Package Oreos any flavor
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- candy melts in red, white and green
Optional Decorations
- writing icing in orange and black
- sprinkles
- pretzel sticks
- edible gold leaf
Instructions
- Start with one design/color at a time. Choose the base color candy melt needed for your design, and pour about 1 cup of the candy melts of that color into a microwave safe bowl. Melt the candy, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Place a silicone mold made for dipped Oreos on top of a sturdy baking sheet that will fit in your refrigerator.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of the melted candy coating into the cavity of the silicone mold. Use a spoon or small spatula to press the melted candy coating around the mold cavity ensuring all the corners and sides are coated.
- Take an Oreo cookie and place it into the mold, pressing down gently but not too much, you don’t want it to touch the bottom. Gently twist the Oreo clockwise, one full twist - this will make sure your edges are coated.
- Take another small spoonful of the melted candy and cover the top of the Oreo. If you overfill the mold or get any on the top of the mold, scrape away with a bench scraper or a spatula.
- Place the coated Oreos in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until set.
- Remove the Oreos from the silicone tray.
- Decorate Oreos using icing, more melting candies and sprinkles.
Notes
Work in batches: Melt and decorate in small amounts so candy doesn’t harden.
Scrape excess: Use a spatula to neaten edges for a clean finish.
Tap out bubbles: Gently tap molds to remove air pockets for smooth coating.
Chill thoroughly: Let cookies set fully before removing from molds or decorating.
Get creative: Mix colors or drizzle extra candy melts for unique designs.
