• 10 ounces white chocolate, white candy melts, white chocolate melting wafers or white almond bark
• 19 Oreo cookies
• 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (optional)

How to Make Chocolate-Covered Oreos

• Place parchment paper or wax paper on a baking sheet.
• Melt white chocolate chips or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl for (2) 30-second increments, stirring in between. Continue to stir until completely melted.
• Dip the Oreo cookies into the melted white chocolate or almond bark. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off the cookies, then place the white fudge-covered oreos on parchment paper or wax paper, making sure to give a little space between to allow for space for the excess chocolate drip to puddle. You can dip the whole cookie or just half of the cookie.

• Sprinkle the areas of melted white chocolate with crushed peppermint candies or any other fun topping. Make sure to do this while the white chocolate is still wet.

• Allow the melted white chocolate to set.

• Depending on how humid your home is, this can take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour.

These cookies can keep for a couple of weeks in an airtight container, with parchment paper between each layer.

This recipe is easily scalable, but you should be okay with ¼ cup crushed peppermint unless you are doing a LOT of dipped cookies.

These white chocolate-dipped oreos are perfect to take to your next holiday party as one of your holiday cookie platters!

Tips and Tricks

• Make sure to sprinkle the cookies with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies while the white chocolate is still wet otherwise the sprinkles will fall off.
• Crush the candies by placing them in a plastic bag and rolling them with a rolling pin.
• You can also melt the white chocolate or almond bark by placing it in a bowl over a pot of boiling water.
• If the white chocolate becomes too thick you can add a touch of coconut oil to thin it out.

Variations

• You can substitute white chocolate chips for any type of melted chocolate to dip the cookies in like dark chocolate, milk chocolate or chocolate almond bark. You can also sprinkle it with any kind of crushed candy.
• Add a few drops of peppermint extract or cinnamon to the melted chocolate for more flavor.
• Sprinkle the covered cookies with decorative and colorful sprinkles, other cake toppings, or finely chopped nuts.
• Add espresso powder to the melted chocolate for a coffee-flavored dipped cookie. Yum!
• Drizzle the cookies with a chocolate glaze using a pastry or clear plastic storage bag. Get creative with your designs.

Yes, you can absolutely dip any cookie you want to make white chocolate-dipped oreos but I think classic oreo cookies are simply one of the best options.

What can I substitute for the white chocolate?

If you can’t find white chocolate bars you can use a block of vanilla almond bark or white chocolate chips.

The crushed peppermint candies will work well with whichever chocolate you decide to use.

Almond bark is an imitation of white chocolate. Apparently, the name comes from its original use which was to cover almonds.
