Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup green chocolate melts
- 1/2 cup white chocolate melts
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Melt green chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth and completely liquid. Use a microwave at 50% power to prevent chocolate from burning.
- Hold each Oreo cookie by its edge and carefully dip it into the melted green chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Gently tap the cookie against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-dipped Oreos onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between each cookie for decoration and cooling.
- Optional: Melt white chocolate melts in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same gentle melting technique.
- Once green chocolate has slightly set but is still slightly wet, drizzle white chocolate over the cookies using a spoon or piping bag for decorative effect.
- Immediately sprinkle festive green or shamrock-themed sprinkles over the cookies while the chocolate is still wet.
- Allow cookies to set completely at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes, or place in refrigerator for faster setting (about 5-10 minutes).
- Store finished St. Patrick's Day Chocolate Dipped Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Prep Your Workspace: Before you start dipping, make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze!
- Melt Chocolate Carefully: When melting the green chocolate melts, use a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power. Stir in between to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency without burning the chocolate.
- Perfect Dipping Technique: Hold each Oreo by the edge and dip it fully into the melted chocolate. Tap gently on the bowl's side to remove excess chocolate, ensuring an even coating for a professional look.
- Decorate While Wet: For the best results, drizzle the white chocolate and add sprinkles while the green chocolate is still wet. This will help the decorations stick better and create a beautiful finish.
- Quick Setting: If you're short on time, place the dipped cookies in the refrigerator for about 5-10 minutes to speed up the setting process. Just be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid over-chilling!
- Storage Tips: Keep your finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days—if they last that long!
