Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pack Oreos or any sandwich cookie
  • 1 cup Chocolate for melting (chocolate chips, melting wafers, or chopped chocolate bars) Decent quality chocolate recommended for smooth dipping.
  • 1-2 teaspoons Coconut oil or shortening (optional) Helps thin the chocolate and makes it smoother.
  • as needed Sprinkles, crushed candy, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or flaky salt for topping Optional, for customizing.
  • as needed White chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Set out your sprinkles and toppings in small bowls. Prepare the drizzle chocolate if using.
Melting Chocolate
  1. Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring each time, until mostly melted. Stir until smooth.
  2. If the chocolate feels too thick, stir in a tiny bit of coconut oil.
Dipping Oreos
  1. Drop one Oreo into the melted chocolate and use a fork to flip it, ensuring it's well coated.
  2. Lift it out with the fork and gently tap it against the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off, then slide it onto the prepared parchment.
Decorating
  1. Immediately add sprinkles or other toppings onto the wet chocolate. If drizzling, let the base layer set before drizzling the top.
Setting
  1. Let the cookies set at room temperature until firm, or place in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes for quicker setting.

Notes

Ensure all utensils are dry to avoid seizing the chocolate. Stack cookies carefully after they are set to prevent smudging.
