How to Make these Oreo Ornament Cookies

Melt Your Chocolate

In microwave-safe bowls, melt your red and green candy melts according to the package directions. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Dip the Oreos

Place an Oreo cookie on a fork and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Pull the cookie up to the side of the bowl and rest the fork there. Tap the fork gently against the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

Transfer to Wax Paper

Hover the fork over a sheet of wax paper. Use a toothpick to gently slide the chocolate-covered Oreo off the fork and onto the wax paper.

Decorate

While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle on your festive sprinkles and candies. Make each “ornament” unique—get creative

Add the Ornament Top

Press a mini Reese’s Cup onto the top edge of each cookie to create the ornament hook attachment. It will stick as the chocolate sets.

Let Them Set

Allow the Oreos to sit at room temperature (or pop them in the fridge for quicker setting) until the chocolate is firm.

Expert Tips

If the melts seem too thick, add a tiny bit of coconut oil to thin them.

Use tweezers for placing tiny candies if you want more detailed designs.

Chill your Oreos for 10 minutes before dipping—they hold together better.
