Ingredients
Oreo Cookies – 1 standard package (approx. 24 cookies)
Chocolate Melting Wafers or Semi-Sweet Chips – 12 oz
Assorted Sprinkles – 2-3 tablespoons
Instructions
Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Repeat in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.
Take one Oreo cookie and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.
Lay the dipped cookie onto a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper.
While the chocolate is still wet, immediately shake sprinkles onto the dipped portion of the cookie.
Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Let the cookies sit undisturbed for approximately 20 minutes at room temperature (or 10 minutes in the fridge) until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
• Use high-quality melting wafers (like Ghirardelli) for the smoothest finish without needing to temper chocolate.
• If the chocolate begins to thicken while dipping, reheat it for 10-15 seconds and stir.
• For a cleaner look, use a fork to lift the Oreo out of the chocolate and tap it gently against the side of the bowl to remove the excess.
