Ingredients
  

  • 1 (14.3 ounce) package Double Stuf Oreos (or your favorite Oreo variety)
  • 12 ounces good quality chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark, or a combination)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening optional, for smoother melting
Assorted toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed candy bars, drizzles of white chocolate, edible glitter, sea salt flakes, mini M&Ms, etc.

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper or wax paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Fork or dipping tool

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. This will prevent your chocolate-covered Oreos from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
  2. Place your chosen chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the optional coconut oil or shortening if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler over simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize up.

  3. Using a fork or a dipping tool, carefully submerge one Oreo cookie into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently lift the Oreo out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. You can gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to help remove excess chocolate.

  4. Carefully place the chocolate-covered Oreo onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. While the chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle your desired toppings over the coated Oreo. Work quickly, as the chocolate will start to set.
  6. Continue dipping and topping the remaining Oreos. Once all Oreos have been dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened. For best results, and to ensure the chocolate is fully set, you can leave them in the fridge for a bit longer.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature, layered between parchment paper. If kitchen is warm, store in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.
