Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 package of chocolate sandwich cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 2-3 cups dark or milk melting chocolate (chocolate formulated for melting or tempered chocolate)
- 1 cup white melting chocolate (chocolate formulated for melting or tempered chocolate)
Decorations
- Evergreen tree sprinkles
- Star sprinkles
- Gold sparkle sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet that fits in your refrigerator with wax paper to create a non-stick surface for the cookies.
- Melt Dark or Milk Chocolate: Gently melt 2-3 cups of your choice of dark or milk melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth and fluid.
- Dip Oreos: Submerge a chocolate sandwich cookie completely in the melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift the cookie out, gently tapping to let excess chocolate drip off, then place it carefully on the prepared baking sheet.
- Work in Batches: Coat up to 6 cookies at a time to avoid the chocolate hardening before the cookies can be chilled. Refrigerate the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
- Repeat Coating: Continue dipping all cookies in the dark or milk chocolate, reheating the chocolate briefly as needed to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Melt White Chocolate: On completion of the dark/milk chocolate coating, melt 1 cup of white melting chocolate in a small bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Add Snowy Details: Dip the bottom and/or sides of each coated cookie into the white chocolate to simulate snow-covered hills. Place cookies back on a wax-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate with Sprinkles: Immediately add evergreen tree sprinkles onto the white chocolate. Use a toothpick dipped in melted white chocolate as glue to attach star sprinkles, applying gold sparkle sugar to enhance the festive look.
- Set the White Chocolate: After decorating about 6 cookies, refrigerate for a few minutes to allow the white chocolate and decorations to firmly set.
- Optional Detailing: Use a toothpick dipped in melted white chocolate to add snowy details to the evergreen tree sprinkles for extra festive effect.
- Storage: Once fully decorated and set, store the chocolate dipped Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Chocolate dipped sandwich cookies are easily decorated to create a charming winter scene perfect for holiday celebrations.
- Work in small batches to keep the melted chocolate warm and smooth for dipping.
- If the chocolate begins to harden, reheat at 50% power in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.
- These treats make delightful homemade gifts or party snacks during the winter season.
