Substitutions
These chocolate covered oreo cookies are meant to be quick and easy, but sometimes you may not have everything on hand. If you need them, here are my recommended substitutions for this recipe:
- Oreo Cookies: Feel free to use any chocolate sandwich cookies you like and have on hand. Vanilla or peppermint sandwich cookies would also be delicious.
- Candy Melts: After a few attempts of using other chocolates, I highly recommend using white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate candy melts. If you need to, use a good quality chocolate bar. Avoid using chips if possible as they clump rather than melt into a smoothing coating.
- Sprinkles: I love using fun holiday themed sprinkles. Use any sprinkles you already have or simply drizzle leftover chocolate for a decorative finish.
Variations
Turn these chocolate covered oreos into Oreo Pops. To do this simply insert a popsicle stick into the filling of the sandwich cookie before dipping it into the melted chocolate. Dip the Oreo cookie into the chocolate and then onto wax paper to top with sprinkles and to set.
Toppings: Feel free to use salted caramel, melted peanut butter, finely chopped nuts, crushed pretzels or even desiccated coconut instead of sprinkles.
Marbled Oreos: Use 16 oz. white chocolate melting wafers. Reserve 1/4 of the melted white chocolate for topping. Dip all the oreo cookies in the melted white chocolate. Set the oreos in the fridge for 15 minutes. Using an oil based food coloring, drop a few drops into the white chocolate. Use a toothpick or cake tester to gently swirl the food coloring into the white chocolate. Using your hands, dip the top of each chocolate covered cookie into the marbled white chocolate.
How To Make
Let me show you how to make chocolate covered oreos.
- Pour the chocolate melts into microwave safe bowls. Heat in 30 second increments in the microwave until the chocolate is fully melted. Stir the chocolate in between each increment.
- Once the chocolate has melted dip each side of the Oreo into the chocolate. Use a fork to flip the cookie from one side to the other.
- Place the chocolate dipped oreos onto a large piece of wax paper.
- Set the chocolate covered oreos for a couple of minutes before topping with sprinkles or a drizzle of chocolate. These chocolate covered cookies need about 20-30 minutes to set. Set the cookies faster by chilling them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
How To Store
To store leftover chocolate covered treats: These oreos covered in chocolate and sprinkles store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four weeks.
