Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 15-second intervals stirring between each, or the candy melts according to the package instructions.
- Use a fork to dip the Oreos into the chocolate, turning it to fully coat. Tap the fork to shake off any excess chocolate and place on the parchment paper to dry.
- Top with sprinkles before the coating sets, if desired. Or, let the coating set, then drizzle with more melted chocolate. Let the cookies sit at room temperature or chill until dry and the coating has fully set.
Notes
- Use a great-tasting chocolate. While you don’t need to use high-quality chocolate for this recipe, the chocolate used is the main flavor. Candy melts are convenient and melt smoothly but sample them before using to make sure you like the taste because not all chocolate wafers are delicious.
- Add coconut oil to thin the melted chocolate. If the chocolate coating is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of solid coconut oil or vegetable shortening to help thin it out. Stir the chocolate until the oil is fully incorporated. Add more oil as needed to achieve a smooth texture.
- Gently tap the cookie to remove excess chocolate. The key to beautiful Oreos that don’t have a puddle of chocolate around them on the parchment paper is to make sure you don’t have too much chocolate on the cookie. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl after dipping and fully coating the Oreo, until the excess chocolate has dripped off.
- Reheat the chocolate as needed. For the smoothest finish, you’ll want to make sure the chocolate is fully melted and hasn’t cooled too much. If the chocolate begins to thicken before you are done dipping, return it to the microwave for 15 seconds and stir well. If you’re using a double boiler, you can keep the chocolate smooth and warm by reducing the heat to the lowest setting after it is melted.
- Scale the recipe. This recipe is so easy to scale larger or smaller. Make just a few Oreos to garnish a cake or make a few dozen for party favors. When making larger batches, you may want to use a double boiler to keep the chocolate smooth and dippable for longer.
- Try different flavor combinations. Make these chocolate-dipped cookies with mint Oreos, golden Oreos, or your favorite seasonal Oreo cookie variety. Try using dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate. You can even try using a colored candy melt, but will want to sample the melts before using them, as their flavor quality can vary.
- Decorate with sprinkles, candy, and more. Add sprinkles to match any special occasion or add Oreo cookie crumbles, chopped nuts, or candy bar pieces to the chocolate coating! You can also use chocolate transfer sheets to add a seasonal flair, a design, or personalization such as a monogram.
- Almond bark variation. If you have almond bark on hand, you can use it for this recipe. It will melt smoothly and has a good consistency for dipping.
