    Chocolate Covered Christmas Oreos

    Today I'm bringing you a two-for-one: an easy holiday gift that anyone on your list will love, and a festive and decadent treat for you to enjoy all season long! Yup, these chocolate covered winter Oreos dipped in chocolate are the perfect SUPER easy holiday recipe for your cookie swaps!

    In this post I'll share how to make and decorate white chocolate dipped holiday Oreos adorned with sprinkles, Rudolph-decorated chocolate covered Oreos, and how to give your Oreos a marbled chocolate design! Lots of fun Christmas Oreos recipes!

    What are Christmas Oreos?

    Winter Oreos, commonly known as holiday Oreos, are a limited-edition variety of Oreos with a red creme filling and festive winter decorations! They're usually available in November and December here in the U.S. and they're always a treat! Perfect for this chocolate-covered holiday Oreos recipe!

    What flavor are Winter Oreos?

    Red Christmas Oreos actually have the same flavor as regular Oreos, but they're somehow so much better!

    Are Christmas Oreos vegan?

    Winter Oreos are made without animal products, but according to the FAQ on the UK OREO website, there is a risk of cross-contamination with milk, so they're not technically suitable for vegans.

    Ingredients

    For this no-bake recipe you'll only need a few ingredients, and it's really up to your preference! I wanted to make both white Christmas oreos and milk chocolate dipped Oreos, so I got both types of melting wafers. You can decide how you want to decorate your Winter Oreos and pick those ingredients accordingly!

    • Oreos - pretty important to this recipe! I definitely prefer the Winter Oreos with the red filling, but you can use regular Oreos, or substitute any other type of chocolate sandwich cookie! It might also be a great variation to use the new limited edition Gingerbread Oreos!
    • white and milk chocolate candy melts - I used Ghirardelli melting wafers in white and milk chocolate because I love the rich chocolatey flavor, but Wilton Candy Melts, or almond bark candy coating would work too. You could even use white or milk chocolate chips, but you might need to add a bit more vegetable oil to achieve the best dipping texture.
    • vegetable oil or coconut oil - this helps to thin out the melted candy so that it dips more easily and neatly.
    • sprinkles - I'd recommend a 6-cell sprinkles container, or as many sprinkles as you like!
    • candy eyes, M&Ms, and mini pretzels - for the Rudolph decoration!
    • treat bags and ribbons - if giving as holiday gifts!

    Equipment

    All you'll really need for this recipe is a microwave! And either parchment paper or a cooling rack to let the chocolate set. But otherwise, it's a pretty simple set of tools.

    Tips and F.A.Q.

    How do I melt my chocolate smoothly?

    Check on it in the microwave every 15-20 seconds and stop cooking when it's mostly melted, stirring it the rest of the way. This will help keep that smooth, thin texture we want.

  • Scrape the bottom of your cookies
  • I learned to let all the extra chocolate drip off, and then scrape the bottom of the cookies on the edge of the bowl before setting them on a cooling rack or parchment to dry. That way, the excess chocolate won't pool around the cookies as they set.
  • Decorate them right away
  • Don't wait too long to add your decorations onto your Christmas dipped Oreos or they won't stick as well!

    • 10 oz white melting wafers
    • 2 teaspoon vegetable oil - divided

    • red M&Ms - for Rudolph's nose

    Instructions

      10 oz milk chocolate melting wafers, 10 oz white melting wafers, 2 teaspoon vegetable oil

    • Lift cookie with the fork to allow candy to drip off, and scrape on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess.

    • For Rudolph cookies, add candy eyes and a red M&M (with the "m" facing down) to the milk chocolate-dipped cookies. Carefully break a pretzel in half to resemble antlers and tuck the pieces into the cream filling on the sides of each cookie.
      candy eyes, mini pretzels, red M&Ms
    • For marble effect, add chocolate melted candy to a bowl with a bit of white melted candy (or the reverse; mostly white candy with a bit of chocolate). Swirl just a bit with a toothpick or knife, and then dip cookie as above. Flip cookie until desired marble effect is reached.
    • Allow to set fully at room temperature. To set more quickly, place in the refrigerator to chill.

      Okay, I'm so excited. I wasn't sure I'd find the right Oreos but I did. I'm making this recipe with my nieces this weekend and I can't wait. And truthfully, I think I'm more excited than them! 🙂
