Chocolate Dipped Oreos
Chocolate covered treats are always a crowd-pleaser, and these cookies are no exception. The contrast of creamy chocolate against the crisp, sweet Oreo makes each bite irresistible.
Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
- Fork or dipping tool
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone mat
- Spoon or piping bag
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Dipped Oreos
- 24 Oreo cookies any variety you like!
- 12 oz 340 g semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 2 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil optional, for a smoother dip
For Toppings (Optional)
- Sprinkles crushed nuts, or mini chocolate chips
- White chocolate for drizzling
- Sea salt just a pinch, if you love a sweet-salty combo
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Workspace
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This is where your dipped Oreos will rest while the chocolate sets.
- Have your toppings ready in small bowls so you can decorate immediately after dipping.
- Pro Tip: Make sure your cookies are at room temperature—cold cookies can cause the chocolate to seize or crack.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or in the top of a double boiler.
- If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the coconut oil (if using) for an extra smooth finish.
- Pro Tip: Whisk continuously to prevent lumps and keep the chocolate silky.
Step 3: Dip the Oreos
- Hold an Oreo by the edge or use a fork/dipping tool and gently dip it into the melted chocolate.
- Make sure it’s fully coated, or leave a little edge showing for a fun look.
- Lift it out and gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Step 4: Decorate
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips over the cookie.
- For extra flair, drizzle a little white chocolate over the top using a spoon or piping bag.
- Pro Tip: Work quickly—chocolate sets fast, so you want toppings added before it hardens.
Step 5: Let Them Set
- Place the dipped and decorated Oreos on your prepared baking sheet.
- Allow them to set at room temperature for about 30–60 minutes, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to speed up the process.
- Pro Tip: Avoid stacking cookies while the chocolate is still soft—they might stick together!
Step 6: Serve or Store
- Once the chocolate has fully set, your chocolate dipped Oreos are ready to enjoy.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
