Chocolate Covered Oreos topped with sprinkles and candy melts for Christmas

I personally love Oreos dipped in white chocolate. I love the combination of the creamy white chocolate with the crunchy Oreo in the middle. It’s perfection, and these are one of my favorite treats that I always wonder why I don’t make them more often. These white chocolate dipped oreos are kind of like those Hershey Cookies and Cream Bars.

These delicious treats can be decorated for any occasion. Top them with sprinkles, drizzle them with colored candy melts, you name it. They can be made up for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, you name it. Or my personal favorite of course, Christmas.

How to decorate chocolate covered Oreos?

Top your chocolate covered with a variety of things to customize them for different occasions.

sprinkles
chopped up peppermint candies
mini m&ms
chopped nuts (peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, etc)
shredded coconut
drizzled candy melts

They’re easy enough to make though that you don’t even need a special occasion for them. Perfect for lunchboxes, an afternoon snack, a Friday night movie treat, you name it.

You can also make these with any flavor of Oreo cookies. I love trying all the new Oreo flavors that come out. But for these my personal favorite is definitely a classic Oreo, not double stuffed or anything, just a regular chocolate Oreo with cream filling in the middle. It’s what makes that cookies and cream flavor I was talking about.

Now onto the important stuff.

How to make chocolate covered Oreos?

These chocolate covered Oreos are such a simple treat to make. Basically, you’ll need to melt some white chocolate or chocolate, and dip the Oreos in it. If I use chocolate chips I like to add coconut oil to the chocolate chips to help make the chocolate smoother. If you’re using white chocolate candy melts or chocolate candy melts you won’t need the oil.

You’ll melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second increments at 50 percent power, stirring after each, until the chocolate is nice and smooth.

Using a fork, carefully dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork against the side of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off. You can also scrape the bottom of the Oreo on the bowl a bit to prevent the chocolate from pooling.

Place the dipped Oreo onto a silicone liner or parchment paper. Then before the chocolate has hardened, sprinkle the Oreo cookies with your favorite toppings. Allow chocolate to sit until it’s completely dry.

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.

Chocolate Covered Oreos for Christmas parties

Tips for making Chocolate Covered Oreos:

Use any flavor of Oreo to change these cookies up from Golden, to Peanut Butter, to Mint, etc.
Another fun treat is to make chocolate covered Oreo “pops”. You can put these on a stick by pushing a stick up into the creme if your cookies are Double Stuf. Or by opening up the cookie, dipping a stick into the chocolate, then placing the stick into the creme. The chocolate should help hold the stick in place.
Place the parchment paper under your melted chocolate bowl to catch any extra chocolate that might drip off as you are transferring your cookie to the parchment paper to set.
Make sure to stir the chocolate a lot in between each time in the microwave. Chocolate holds its heat well and will keep melting in between, and this will help to keep you from overheating the chocolate.
If you’re worried about overheating your chocolate in the microwave you can also use a double boiler instead. You can use an official double boiler, or any heat safe bowl over a small pot of boiling water. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
White chocolate is much more forgiving than milk, semi sweet, or dark chocolate. Its a lot easier to melt without worrying about overheating, so if you are stressed – use white chocolate chips instead of others!
You can also use candy melts to make the Oreos different colors, and they usually melt very nice and smooth.
Dip your Oreo into the chocolate and use a fork to help you flip it over to make sure all sides and edges are covered in chocolate.
Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl as you lift it out of the chocolate to make sure the extra chocolate from the bottom of the Oreo drips off. You can also scrape the Oreo on the side of the bowl to make sure any extra comes off to avoid feet sticking out at the bottom of the cookies.
To get the best look with any chocolate drizzles on top make sure to go over the edges. You’ll waste a little extra chocolate, but it will help the drizzle look much better.

How to store Chocolate Covered Oreos?

These are a perfect make ahead treat because they stay good for a while. Chocolate covered Oreos can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to keep them out of a sunny place, or area that is too warm in your house or the chocolate could melt.

I love making these chocolate covered Oreos around the holidays. Package a few up in a cellophane bag and they’re the perfect little treat bags to give to your friends, and neighbors. Give some to your co-workers, or your kids will love sharing a bag with their teachers at school.

Chocolate covered Oreos are such a fun treat, that is not only delicious, but easy to make. They can be decorated to make them fun for any special occasion.
