Ingredients
- 1 pack of Oreo cookies (about 14–15 cookies, depending on the brand)
- 12 oz of white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
- Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or drizzle chocolate (optional for decoration)
- A pinch of salt (optional, for a sweet-salty flavor)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Workspace
Before diving into making these treats, it’s important to get your workspace ready. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. This will be your “cooling station” for the chocolate-covered Oreos. You’ll need a flat surface to place them once they’re coated.
2. Melt the White Chocolate
Now for the fun part! In a microwave-safe bowl, add your white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave.
Pro Tip: Be patient with this step! You don’t want to overheat the chocolate and risk it seizing up. Stirring between intervals ensures it melts evenly.
3. Dip the Oreos
Once the white chocolate is melted, it’s time to coat the Oreos! Using a fork or a spoon, carefully dip each Oreo into the melted white chocolate. Make sure to coat it fully, turning the Oreo to get even coverage on all sides.
Tip: If you’re using a spoon, you can use the back of the spoon to smooth the chocolate over the Oreo. Gently tap the spoon on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
4. Let the Excess Chocolate Drip Off
Once the Oreo is coated in white chocolate, hold it over the bowl for a second to let any excess chocolate drip off. You can also tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to get rid of any extra chocolate.
5. Add Decorations
While the white chocolate is still wet, now’s the time to add any sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or drizzle some dark or milk chocolate on top. This step adds a fun pop of color and flavor.
Optional: If you want to get a little fancy, you can drizzle melted dark chocolate over the white chocolate-covered Oreos for a nice contrast in both flavor and appearance.
6. Let the Oreos Set
Now, place the chocolate-covered Oreos on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool and harden for about 20-30 minutes at room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, you can pop them in the fridge for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Once the white chocolate is set and hardened, you’re ready to enjoy your homemade treats! You can store them in an airtight container for up to a week—if they last that long!
