Delicious Chocolate Covered Oreos Recipe
A few of weeks ago, my oven suddenly did not work properly. This is kapoot. That’s it. It’s over! We’ll talk again soon, aligator. There were plans in place for me to bake a variety of Christmas cookies and goodies, which I intended to share with you all on my blog. However, it is evident that the universe had other ideas. As if I were to receive a brand new double oven next. The only thing I would need to do is find some patience.
This would mean that I would not be able to enjoy any of my grandmother’s Russian Tea Cakes, Raspberry Rugelach, or Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. What did a young lady who maintains a blog about baking manage to do? Instead, whip up some Christmas treats that don’t require baking. Like this chocolate fudge, or perhaps some peppermint bark, and of course, you can’t forget about some delicious Oreo balls, of course.
But today, I’m going to share with you a recipe for chocolate-covered Oreos that is easy to make and doesn’t require much of a fuss (can we even call it a recipe?). You have a Christmas treat that no one will be able to resist, and it only requires two ingredients. Let’s not forget to add some sprinkles on top, which brings the total number of ingredients to three.
In spite of the fact that I do not possess an oven, I am not going to let that prevent me from preparing some chocolate-covered Oreos that are simple to make.
Why You Will Love These Homemade Chocolate Covered Oreos
- Perfect for any holiday, not just Christmas!
- Made with just 2 ingredients
- Cheap to make (much cheaper than ordering!)
- No need to turn the oven on
- Quick to whip up.
Chocolate For Dipping The Oreos
I like to use either Wilton Candy melts, or Ghiradelli melting wafers. These melt beautifully and create a shiny finish. There’s no need to temper this chocolate, just melt in your microwave. You can use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or white chocolate or a combination of both.
If you don’t have either but still want to make Oreos, you can use chocolate chips. I recommend stirring in a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to keep the chocolate shiny and smooth.
How To Make Chocolate Covered Oreos
- Melt chocolate according to package directions. I do this in my microwave in 15-second increments, and stir until smooth. I like to melt two different kinds of chocolate (white and dark chocolate in two separate bowls) but you can use just one type of chocolate.
- Using a fork, place one oreo into the bowl of melted chocolate.
- Flip over the oreo, so it gets completely covered. Lift the oreo out of the chocolate with the fork, and tap it gently on the side of the bowl to shake off the excess chocolate and let the extra chocolate drip off into the bowl.
- Place the Oreos onto a parchment lined baked sheet and top with sprinkles
Recipe Tips
- Use quality chocolate. I like the melting wafers, like Ghiradelli melting wafers for best flavor and results but the candy melts also work. These are best for creating a shiny, smooth finish on your Oreos. You can also melt and temper chocolate and dip in real chocolate.
- Allow to cool before enjoying. Let the chocolate harden for about 30 minutes, at room temperature, or quicken the process for about 15 minutes in the fridge. If you plan on adding a drizzle of another chocolate do so after the chocolate hardens.
- Place some parchment paper under your dipping bowl. This makes for easy clean up once you’re done, as you’re bound to dribble some chocolate on your counter when moving the Oreos over to your baking sheet.
- Dip with a fork, do not pierce. You want to dip the Oreos into the chocolate using the fork, and not try to pierce the filling as your cookies will fall apart.
- Tap the dipped Oreos on the side of the bowl. You want to tap the Oreos and shake off the excess chocolate to make for a shiny smooth coating.

Ingredients
- 1 package oreo cookies about 36 cookies
- 24 ounces candy melts *see note
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
-
Prepare baking sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
-
Melt chocolate. Melt chocolate according to package directions. I do this in my microwave in 15-second increments, and stir until smooth. I like to melt two different kinds of chocolate (white and dark chocolate in two separate bowls) but you can use just one type of chocolate. Before dipping, you can also place some parchment under the bowl of chocolate so if any chocolate drips it’s quick to clean up.
-
Dip the Oreos. Using a fork, place one oreo into the bowl of melted chocolate. Flip over the oreo, so it gets completely covered. Lift the oreo out of the chocolate with the fork, and tap on the side of the bowl and shake it gently back and forth letting the excess drip off into the bowl. Set onto the baking sheet.
-
Decorate. And if adding sprinkles, sprinkle on now before chocolate hardens. Or instead of adding sprinkles, you can drizzle on a second chocolate. Let the first chocolate cool, then drizzle on an alternate chocolate (so if dipping in dark chocolate, then I drizzle on white chocolate, but you can use the same type of chocolate or skip the drizzle). Let the cookies sit until completely dry.
Notes

- Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months, in a container. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or on your counter at room temperature if you want them thawed much faster.
- Chocolate- I like to use either Wilton Candy melts, or Ghiradelli melting wafers. These melt beautifully and create a shiny finish. There’s no need to temper this chocolate, just melt in your microwave.
