Chocolate Covered Oreos Recipe
These chocolate covered Oreos make the classic chocolate-y cookie even better by adding, you guessed it, more chocolate! It’s easy to get creative with this one by choosing different colored candy melts or sprinkles. They’re great for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and more. I used rainbow sprinkles for an upcoming birthday party, and I love how they turned out! The best part is that there’s no baking required. All you need is a microwave for this one!

How to Store
Store leftover chocolate covered Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 week, in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let thaw at room temperature before serving.
Tips for Success
- Use high-quality candy melts or chocolate chips. I recommend Ghirardelli!
- Stir the chocolate frequently while heating to prevent it from burning!
- Do not stab the fork tines into the cream filling of the Oreos when dipping; this could cause the cookie to crumble apart.
- Shake off excess chocolate to keep the Oreos from becoming lumpy.
- For easier dipping, use your hand to dip just half of each cookie in chocolate!
- To get these Oreos smooth, make sure to tap the dipped Oreos on the side or rim of the bowl to shake off any excess chocolate. Too much chocolate can cause the Oreos to come out lumpy.
- Feel free to decorate your dipped Oreos with chopped nuts, toasted coconut, crushed pretzels, flaky salt, melted peanut butter, or caramel sauce!
