Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1 (15-ounce) package Oreos (mint, regular, or Double Stuf)

Chocolate Melts

  • 1 (10-ounce) package Ghirardelli milk chocolate melts
  • 1 (10-ounce) package Ghirardelli white chocolate melts (optional for double-dipped cookies)

Decorations

  • Assorted Christmas sprinkles, as desired
  • Red food coloring, optional and as desired
  • Green food coloring, optional and as desired

Instructions

  1. Melt Milk Chocolate: Place the Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt them according to the package directions, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  2. Optional Melt White Chocolate: If you want to double dip your cookies, melt the Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers in a separate medium microwave-safe bowl following the package instructions.
  3. Dip Oreos in Milk Chocolate: Set a wire rack over a piece of wax paper. Using a fork, dip each Oreo cookie into the melted milk chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off between the fork tines before placing it gently on the rack.
  4. Double Dip with White Chocolate: Once the milk chocolate coating has fully set on the Oreos, pick up each cookie and dip half into the melted white chocolate if desired. Return to the rack.
  5. Add Sprinkles: Before the chocolate sets, decorate the dipped cookies with assorted Christmas sprinkles for a festive touch.
  6. Color & Drizzle White Chocolate: Optionally, add red and/or green food coloring to the melted white chocolate till you reach your desired shade. Transfer the colored chocolate to small plastic bags, snip the corners, and pipe or drizzle over the cookies creatively.
  7. Let Set: Allow the chocolate on the cookies to set at room temperature for about 1 hour until completely firm. Avoid refrigerating for the best glossy finish, though chilling is possible if preferred.
  8. Store Properly: Once set, store the cookies airtight at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, refrigerated for 1 month, or frozen for up to 6 months. Note that refrigeration or freezing may dull the chocolate’s shine but not the flavor.

Notes

  • Milk chocolate is recommended for dipping due to its smooth melting properties, but semi-sweet chocolate can be used if preferred.
  • White chocolate chips are difficult to melt smoothly and prone to seizing, so use white chocolate melting wafers for best results.
  • Chocolate candy melts like Ghirardelli Melting Wafers provide an even, smooth melt and maintain a good working time for dipping.
  • You can fully dip cookies in white chocolate or combine any dipping methods creatively for a unique look.
  • For the best finish, avoid refrigerating the cookies immediately after dipping as it can dull the chocolate’s gloss.
