How to Make Chocolate Covered Christmas Light Oreos
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white baking chips in 20-second intervals. Be sure to stir in between to avoid burning, and continue until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
3. Using a fork, place an Oreo into the melted white chocolate. Move it around to make sure the cookie is fully coated, then flip it to cover the other side. Lift the cookie out of the bowl using the fork and let the excess chocolate drip off for a second. Place the cookie onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of your Oreos.
4. Let the cookies cool for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the white chocolate has hardened. (Pro tip: If you’re in a rush, pop the cookies in the fridge to speed up the process!)
5. Next, melt the dark chocolate chips the same way you did with the white chips—20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Using a piping bag, ziplock bag with the corner snipped off, or even a spoon, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the cookies in thin lines.
7. Before the dark chocolate hardens, gently press mini M&Ms onto the lines. For a classic Christmas look, use just the red and green M&Ms.
Serve and Enjoy!
Important Recipe Notes
- Use parchment paper: This prevents the Oreos from sticking and makes cleanup much easier.
- Heat the white and dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring each time to avoid burning.
- Allow the white chocolate to harden before adding the dark chocolate drizzle for the best results.
- Press mini M&Ms gently onto the chocolate while it’s still soft so they stick without sliding off.
- If you’re short on time, place the cookies in the fridge to harden the chocolate faster.
