Ingredients
1 package (15 ounces) standard OREO cookies
16 ounces high-quality white chocolate or vanilla candy melts
Optional: Sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Place the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth and melted.
Using a fork, dip each OREO cookie into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Use the fork to lift the cookie out, gently tapping it against the edge of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off.
Place the coated cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process for all cookies, adding decorations if desired before the chocolate sets.
Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until the shell is completely hardened.
Notes
Ensure your workspace is free of moisture, as water can cause white chocolate to seize. If the chocolate gets too thick while dipping, reheat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
