Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp shortening
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in the microwave. Heat the mixture for 30 seconds at a time, letting the chocolate sit after heating, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, using a fork (or a Wilton dipping tool!) to fully coat the cookie. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the dipped Oreo onto the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, add sprinkles to the top of the chocolate-dipped Oreo while the chocolate is still wet. If desired, melt another 2 TBSP chocolate chips in a small baggie, snip the corner and drizzle on dipped cookies.
- Once all of the Oreos are dipped and decorated, let the cookies cool on the countertop until the chocolate has set. Enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container on the countertop. This will help prevent them from getting stale or losing their crunch. You can store them at room temperature for up to a week.
Freeze for Longer Storage : If you need to make your chocolate dipped Oreos further ahead of time, you can freeze them. Once they're completely cooled and set, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour. Once they're frozen, you can transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They'll keep in the freezer for up to a month.
