Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Oreos: Classic sandwich cookies (quantity as desired)
- Colored melting chocolate or candy melts: Enough to coat all Oreos
- Festive sprinkles: Red, green, white, or gold (to taste)
- Wax paper or parchment: For setting dipped Oreos
Optional Toppings
- Crushed candy canes (to taste)
- Mini chocolate chips (to taste)
- Edible glitter (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Start by lining a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper to place your dipped Oreos on later. This prevents sticking and helps set the coating smoothly.
- Melt the chocolate: Following package instructions, gently melt your candy melts or colored chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring thoroughly between to prevent burning.
- Dip the Oreos: Grab an Oreo by the edges and submerge it into the smooth melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Lift and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Add festive toppings: Immediately place your dipped Oreos on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with your choice of holiday decorations while the coating is still wet for perfect adhesion.
- Let them set: Allow the dipped Oreos to sit at room temperature or place them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Notes
- Use high-quality candy melts to ensure smooth dipping and vibrant colors.
- Work quickly as candy melts can harden fast, so dip and decorate efficiently.
- Dip straight down and lift to avoid excess drips and create neater coatings.
- Make sure Oreos are at room temperature to avoid coating mishaps.
- Store dipped Oreos in airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup.
