This is the season for festive cookies and gift-giving and these dazzling peppermint-crusted covered Christmas white chocolate oreos will be an instant hit. With just a few simple steps these will take center stage on any cookie plate.
Place ¾ bag of white chocolate and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave on 20 second increments stirring after each one until fully melted. Be careful not to overheat.
Cut a very small slit at the top of the piping bag.
Fold piping bag over a large cup and pour in the melted chocolate.
Fill each mold half way, then press in an Oreo.
Then, cover the Oreo with remaining white chocolate smoothing the chocolate with the back of a spoon when done.
Place Oreo mold into the freezer for 15 minutes.
Heat the remaining white chocolate with a few drops of coconut oil and stir until combined.
Pour into a flat plate. Place the Oreo in a circular motion into the melted chocolate.
Place your candy canes, sprinkles and peppermint chips onto the chocolate. (Chocolate will harden quickly, so move fast).
Place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to harden.
To achieve red Oreos, simply place a few drops of an oil-based food coloring into your melted chocolate and stir well. Do not use water based as it will separate when it hits the hot, melted chocolate.
Notes
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.
