Servings: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies 24 cookies
- 16 ounces chocolate or candy melts milk, dark, or white chocolate
- ½ cup sprinkles choose your favorite colors and shapes
Instructions
- Start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the chocolate-covered Oreos from sticking once you dip them.
- Place the chocolate or candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each Oreo cookie into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the entire cookie. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- Immediately after dipping, place the chocolate-covered Oreo on the prepared baking sheet. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your chosen sprinkles generously on top so they stick.
- Allow the Oreos to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely, usually about 30 minutes. For quicker setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Once the chocolate is firm, transfer your chocolate-covered Oreos to a serving platter and enjoy.

Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor. Ensure Oreos are at room temperature before dipping to prevent condensation. Tap off excess chocolate to avoid drips. Use a toothpick or skewer if you want to dip without using a fork. Apply sprinkles immediately after dipping as chocolate sets fast. Temper chocolate for a glossy finish. Variations include adding crushed freeze-dried strawberries, flavored sprinkles, drizzled chocolate, nut toppings, or stuffing Oreos with peanut butter or cream cheese frosting before dipping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate in warm conditions.
