Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prepare your workspace for cookie dipping and cooling.
- Melt green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat the candy melts.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully submerge each Oreo cookie into the melted green candy coating, ensuring full and even coverage. Gently tap the fork on the bowl's edge to remove excess coating.
- Carefully transfer the green-coated Oreos to the prepared baking sheet, allowing them to set at room temperature for about 5-7 minutes until the green candy coating hardens.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl, using the same 30-second interval method, stirring until completely smooth.
- Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small piping bag or zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off for drizzling.
- Drizzle white chocolate in decorative zigzag patterns across the green-coated Oreo cookies to create a festive St. Patrick's Day design.
- Immediately sprinkle St. Patrick's Day-themed or green sprinkles over the white chocolate drizzle while it's still wet.
- Allow cookies to set completely at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
- Once set, carefully transfer cookies to a serving platter or store in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your candy melts and chocolate are melted at the right temperature to achieve a smooth, glossy coating.
- Dipping Technique: Use a fork or specialized dipping tool for even, clean cookie coating. Gently tap off excess chocolate to prevent thick, uneven layers.
- Quick Cooling: For faster setting, place cookies in the refrigerator, but don't leave them too long to prevent condensation.
- Sprinkle Creativity: Choose green or St. Patrick's Day-themed sprinkles to enhance the festive look.
- Storage Hack: Store cookies in an airtight container between parchment paper layers to maintain their crisp coating and prevent sticking.
- Make Ahead: These cookies can be prepared 2-3 days in advance, making party planning a breeze!
