Customize these indulgent easy-to-make cookies with any flavor of Oreo and chocolate coating!
Goodness dipped in goodness
We are chocolate lovers and can never get enough of those Oreo sandwich cookies (who doesn’t love Cookies and cream?!)
And yes, they are great on their own, but have you ever dipped them in chocolate?!
They’re AMAZING, and now we make them every year and customize them for parties, cookie plates, holidays and more.
Why we love them:
- Holiday favorite. From Birthday parties to Christmas treats you can use custom colors and sprinkles to fit the special occasion.
- For sharing. We love to gift these cookies for birthdays, holidays, or “just because”. Package them up nice and pretty and you’re set!
- Easy to make. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, these are so easy even the kids can help!
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 35 minutes
- 36 Oreo cookies – Try flavors from chocolate to golden, regular cream to peanut butter cream, and thin, regular, or double stuff.
- 16-ounce candy coating – I recommend using a high-quality chocolate or candy coating. We love Ghirardelli melting wafers for dipping fruit, candies, and chocolate. Almond bark and baking chocolates also work.
- 1 cup sprinkles – Coordinate the sprinkles with the holiday. Other toppings include chopped nuts, crushed candy cane, mini M&Ms, or coconut flakes. Add toppings when the chocolate is still wet.
How to Make Chocolate Covered Oreos
- MELT. In a saucepan over LOW heat melt 16 ounces of candy coating. Stir constantly.
- COAT. Use a fork to dip 36 Oreos in the melted chocolate. Cover completely then gently tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- SPRINKLE. Place the covered Oreo on a piece of parchment paper and top with 1 cup sprinkles.
- Allow them to cool and dry completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Chocolate Foot
A chocolate foot is created when excess coating pools around the base of the treat. To prevent this allow excess coating to drip off before placing on the parchment paper to set.
If chocolate begins to pool, use a toothpick to “cut” the pool away from the treat. If a foot has set, simply break/trim it off.
