Sweet and Minty Peppermint Oreos
If you’re anything like me, the holiday season means indulging in all things peppermint and chocolate. It’s the ultimate flavor combo—refreshing, sweet, and downright irresistible!

Trust me, these are the perfect no-bake treat that’ll have your family and friends coming back for seconds (and thirds).
How to Make Peppermint Oreos
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step by Step Guide
1. First things first, we need to get that candy cane crunch ready. Toss a few candy canes into a zip-lock bag, grab a rolling pin, and go to town! Smash them into small bits—but not too fine. We still want those nice, chunky peppermint pieces to add some texture.
2. Melt your white chocolate chips in the microwave. I like to do it in 20-second bursts, stirring between each round until it’s silky smooth.
3. Grab one Oreo and dip half of each into the melted chocolate. Place your dipped Oreos on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This will keep things from getting too sticky later.
4. Now, while the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top of each cookie. If you’re feeling extra festive, toss on some red or green sprinkles.
5. Let your Peppermint Oreos sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. If you’re in a hurry (or just really want to dig in), pop them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
Once the cookies are set, they’re ready to go! These Peppermint Oreos are a crowd-pleaser, perfect for cookie swaps, holiday parties, or even as a last-minute gift idea. Just wrap them up in some cute cellophane with a ribbon, and boom—you’re the holiday hero!
