Ingredients
Cookies
- Classic Oreos (quantity as desired, typically 20-30 cookies)
Chocolate Coating
- White, milk, or dark chocolate melts (about 12 oz)
- Vegetable oil or coconut oil (1 teaspoon, optional for thinning chocolate)
Decorations
- Pastel-colored or Easter-themed sprinkles (quantity as desired)
- Optional: edible glitter, mini marshmallows, pastel sugar crystals
Tools
- Wax paper or parchment paper (for setting cookies)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper to place the dipped Oreos as they set, making cleanup easier and preventing sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your choice of chocolate chips or candy melts in 30-second increments, stirring well between each until smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of vegetable or coconut oil if desired to achieve a silky texture that is easier for coating.
- Dip the Oreos: Using a fork or dipping tool, fully coat each Oreo in the melted chocolate. Gently tap off any excess chocolate to avoid thick clumps and place the coated Oreos on the prepared baking sheet.
- Decorate Immediately: Before the chocolate sets, generously sprinkle Easter-themed decorations onto each coated Oreo. This ensures the toppings stick well and adds visual appeal.
- Let Them Set: Allow the chocolate-coated Oreos to cool and harden at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate melts for smoother coating and better flavor.
- Melt chocolate gently in short increments to avoid overheating or seizing.
- Decorate quickly before the chocolate hardens to ensure decorations stick properly.
- Place dipped Oreos on a cooling rack for more even chocolate setting and minimal build-up on the bottom.
- Store finished treats in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge to maintain freshness and crunch.
