Recipe Ingredients
This is a decadent dessert that is quick and easy to make with only two ingredients. You can’t go wrong with this chocolate-covered Oreo recipe.
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Milk chocolate: Candy melting wafers work well for melting and not having lumps in your chocolate.
- Oreo cookies: The main ingredient! Pick your favorite type of Oreo flavor then use them to dip. I used original or double stuffed when making my dipped Oreos.
- White chocolate: This will be the drizzle over top of the covered Oreos. Use food coloring to change the color depending on the holiday or event.
Variations
With only two ingredients, it is hard to have too many variations with covered Oreos. Here are a few extra ideas to make your Oreos the best!
- I use chocolate candy melting wafers because they’re super easy to use but if you want to go for the more high-quality chocolate like Ghirardelli, go for it.
- Use milk, dark, or semi-sweet chocolate, depending on preference. You may even want to do a few of each.
- White chocolate-covered Oreos are also an option! Try green and red because chocolate candy melts come in all sorts of different colors.
- Make these with different flavored Oreos.
Decoration Inspiration
- Turn a chocolate-dipped cookie into a cookie pop! Place a lollipop into the creamy center before dipping and once set, wrap in cellophane. They would make such cute gifts too!
- Top with festive-colored sprinkles, gold flakes, or crushed peppermint candies.
- Drizzle with extra chocolate using a piping bag. You can even pipe on fun designs as I did with these Christmas Oreos.
- Add extra Oreo crumbs on top.
- Make white chocolate-covered Oreos.

Helpful Tips

- Melt chocolate until there are no more lumps. You want a smooth consistency.
- Work quickly and dip the cookies before the chocolate starts to harden.
- Using a fork to place in and lift out the cookie helps with even coating and no finger smudges.

Recipe FAQs
Add spoonfuls of melted chocolate to a muffin tin. Using a fork or spoon, place the Oreo in the muffin circles and flip the Oreo around until it is covered. If you are working with white and chocolate melting wafers, this is perfect for several colors.
Depending on how many times the Oreo was dipped in the chocolate depends on how long it takes. Usually, wait about an hour to make sure that they are not sticky on parchment paper.

Chocolate Covered Oreos
Ingredients
- 12 ounces milk chocolate candy melting wafers
- 24 Oreo cookies
Optional Decorations
- White chocolate candy melting wafers
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment.
- In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate candy melting wafers. Heat 1 minute at 50% power and stir. Continue to heat at 30-second intervals at 50% power until melted, stirring well in between. Make sure there are no lumps in the chocolate and that it is smooth and easy to stir. You may also use a double broiler if preferred.
- Place the Oreos on a fork and dip them into the melted chocolate. Turn to coat completely in chocolate. When the entire cookie is covered with chocolate, lift it out using the fork. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl several times to let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Slide the Oreo onto the baking sheet with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining Oreos. If there is excess chocolate, draw a circle around the base of the cookie with a toothpick to get a clean circle. Repeat with remaining Oreos.
Optional Decorations
- Option 1: Sprinkle the top with sprinkles and let cool.
- Option 2: Once the chocolate has set on the cookies, pipe the top with melted chocolate (follow step 1 and then place melted chocolate in a zip-top bag before snipping the tip of the corner). Let set.
Notes
- Use white, milk, or dark chocolate depending on flavor preference.
- Make with different flavors of Oreos.
- Decorate with colored sprinkles.
- Top with chopped nuts.
- Add crushed candy canes.
- Sprinkle the top with crushed Oreo crumbs.
- Place on a lollypop stick before dipping and then wrap in cellophane.
