Instructions
- Add three-quarters of the bag of white chocolate wafers to a microwave-safe bowl along with the coconut oil.
- Microwave in twenty-second increments, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Cut a very small snip in the top of the piping bag.
- Place the piping bag into a large glass and fold the top over the rim of the glass, making it easy to fill.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the piping bag.
- Pipe the melted chocolate into each Oreo mold filling it halfway up.
- Nestle an Oreo into each mold.
- Top each Oreo with more white chocolate. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it over, completely enrobing the cookies.
- Place the mold into the freezer for fifteen minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
- Place the remaining white chocolate and a few drops of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat to melt.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a flat plate.
- Use a circular motion to dip one side of the Oreo into the melted chocolate.
- Top the cookies with the candy cane decoration, crushed peppermint, and sprinkles. Work quickly as the chocolate will harden.
- Once all of the cookies have been decorated, place them into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes so they can be set.
Variations
- Use any of your favorite varieties of Gluten Free Oreos for this recipe such as mint or double stuffed.
- Feel free to use non-gluten-free Oreos.
- For even more of a festive look add red or green food coloring to the melted white chocolate. Make sure to use an oil-based food coloring as water-based food coloring will separate when added to the hot chocolate.
- Swap out the Christmas decorations for your favorite holiday sprinkles.
- Feel free to dip these in melted dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.
Storage
- For the best texture and to prevent the chocolate from becoming too soft keep these stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for up to two weeks.
- These cookies freeze well. Keep them stored in freezer-safe bags with the air removed and they’ll last up to three months in the freezer.
Equipment
- Fancy Flours Oreo Mold – This makes evenly and quickly coating the Oreos in the melted chocolate mess-free while allowing you to do six at a time easily.
- Piping bag
- Measuring cups/spoons
- Flat plate
- Spoon
Top Tips
- Don’t overheat the melting chocolate wafers. This will cause the chocolate to break.
- If you decide to add food coloring to the white chocolate make sure that you use an oil-based color. Water-based food color separates when it is combined with hot chocolate.
- Don’t skip the step of freezing the cookies before you dip the tops and decorate them. This will allow the second layer to adhere and make them easy to handle.
