Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
Baking Sheet

Ingredients

10 ounces white chocolate candy melts (1 bag)*
10 ounces milk chocolate candy melts (1 bag)*
10 ounces dark chocolate candy melts (1 bag)*
14.3 ounces Oreo cookies (1 standard package)**
Sprinkles optional, for topping

Instructions

Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
Melt each of the chocolate melting wafers in separate medium-sized, microwave-safe bowls in the microwave for 30-60 seconds at a time, stirring between each time, until fully melted.
10 ounces white chocolate candy melts, 10 ounces milk chocolate candy melts, 10 ounces dark chocolate candy melts
Dip ⅓ of the Oreos in the white chocolate, one at a time, then drip off the excess chocolate using a fork. Place them on the prepared baking sheet to set.
14.3 ounces Oreo cookies
Repeat with ⅓ of the Oreos in the milk chocolate and the remaining ⅓ of the Oreos in the dark chocolate.
Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle as many Oreos as you like with sprinkles or drizzle some of the milk chocolate on the white chocolate Oreos or dark chocolate on the milk chocolate Oreos then sprinkle on some sprinkles if desired.
Sprinkles
Let the chocolate harden fully then serve.

Notes

*Use high-quality candy melts or chocolate chips. I recommend Ghirardelli!

**Use any Oreo variety.

Tips:

Stir the chocolate frequently while heating to prevent it from burning!
Make sure your Oreos are completely dry and at room temperature before dipping to avoid chocolate bloom (that chalky white coating).
Do not stab the fork tines into the cream filling of the Oreos when dipping; this could cause the cookie to crumble apart.
If the chocolate is too hot, it can cause the Oreo cream to melt and the cookie to split; let it cool slightly before dipping.
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!

Storage: Store chocolate covered Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
