Description
Easy Chocolate Covered Oreos are decorated for Valentine’s Day. These are the perfect homemade dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 bag (14oz) Oreo (flavor of choice)
- 10 ounce (283g) chocolate wafers
- 10 ounces (283g) white chocolate wafers
- Garnishes (Sprinkles etc)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers at 50% power in 30 second intervals; stir between each interval and continue until the chocolate is melted. Reduce microwave time as needed so the chocolate does not burn.
- Dip the Oreo: Place the Oreo in the bowl of chocolate and use a fork to flip the Oreo around until it’s completely covered. Use the fork to lift the Oreo out of the chocolate, tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and scrape the bottom of the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove additional chocolate. Place on a piece of parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Decorate: Chocolate wafers tend to set quickly, so if you’d like to add sprinkles or other toppings, then it’s best to do so right away. Or you can add a chocolate drizzle and then add sprinkles to the drizzle.
- To add a Chocolate Drizzle: Wait until the chocolate has fully set, then apply the drizzle with leftover melted chocolate. Do this by filling a small piping bag or Ziploc bag with 2-3 tablespoons of melted chocolate and cut off the tip/corner of the bag. Drizzle and allow to set. I recommend drizzling it off the sides of the Oreo for the best look.
Notes
- How to decorate:
- Dip in sprinkles – check your local craft store or the target dollar section for seasonal colors. Or if you want to splurge, my favorite sprinkles are from Sweetapolita.
- Drizzle with colored chocolate
- Decorate with googly eyes and lips, or icing decorations
- Dip in crushed nuts
- How to store chocolate covered Oreos: Store in an airtight container for several days at room temperature. Otherwise these can be stored in the refrigerator for a longer period of time.
- Make these ahead of time: They’re the perfect dessert to prepare ahead, up to 3 days. Store in an airtight container.
