4th of July Chocolate Covered Oreos
Description
The recipe features Oreo sandwich cookies specially flavored and covered in melted candy melts in red and royal blue. Melting the candy melts in the microwave allows for easy dipping of the cookies, which are then set on wax paper to harden in the refrigerator. Reheating the candy melts in sandwich bags enables precise drizzle decoration with a contrasting color, which is then topped with red, white, and blue sprinkles for a seasonal display.
The final product offers a rich, creamy candy coating surrounding the familiar Oreo center, enhanced by the added flavor from the Fireworks variety. The firmness of the candy coating contrasts with the soft cookie inside, creating a festive dessert ideal for holiday celebrations.
Variations can include different Oreo flavors or candy melt colors to suit other occasions or preferences, making these treats adaptable beyond the 4th of July theme.

- 1 Candy Melts red; package

Instructions
- Place wax paper onto a flat surface, preferably a cutting board or baking sheet. Clear a space for this cutting board or baking sheet in your refrigerator.

- Plunge a Fireworks Oreo cookie into the melted candy. Flip the cookie over with a fork and gently lift out of the bowl, wiping excess on the edge. Place cookie onto prepared cutting board or baking sheet. Repeat until you have half of the cookies coated.
- Cover the remaining cookies with the red candy melts just as you did the blue.
