INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE BELOW):
Oreos
White candy melts
Food coloring
Sprinkles of choice
HOW TO MAKE VALENTINE’S CHOCOLATE DIPPED OREOS:
- Melt chocolate chips in a large heatproof glass bowl (or smaller pot) using a double boiler method. Take a medium or small saucepan (a smaller one than your glass bowl), fill the pot with one or two inches of warm water. Take it to simmer over medium heat, and once water is heated through and steam released add the bowl on top. The glass bowl should not get in contact with water.
- Add in the candy melts and stir constantly until about 70% of the melts are melted. Remove from the heat and continue to stir with a spatula until everything has melted and smooth.
- Depending on which colors you are using you can divide the mixture between two bowls. Add desired food coloring to one bowl according to packaging instructions or desired color you want to achieve. Alternatively, you can use colored candy melts and melt them the same way as described above.
- For a very smooth consistency add a drizzle of coconut or olive oil to the melting chocolate.
- Using two forks, dip each Oreos into the chocolate. Carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack or parchment paper and add sprinkles. Let cool for a couple of minutes and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set.
- You can then proceed with more decorations. To drizzle the chocolate use a fork or pastry piping bag with the smallest nozzle. Once finished, refrigerate again until the chocolate sets.
CAN I USE OTHER FLAVOR OREOS?
Absolutely! Some of our favorite flavors that we use are red velvet, mint, golden and more. Since the only other ingredient is chocolate mostly any Oreo will work with this recipe!
WHY DO I HAVE TO USE GEL FOOD COLORING?
Chocolate seizes quickly when you add any liquid to it, so using a gel food coloring you shouldn’t have that issue. And using candy melts instead of chocolate chips also reduces the risk of that happening.
CAN I MELT THE CHOCOLATE IN THE MICROWAVE?
We find it much easier to use the double boiler method with this. When you heat chocolate like white chocolate in the microwave again it does have a tendency to seize.
But when you use the double boiler method you will have a smoother consistency and not have to worry about any real issues.
HOW TO STORE:
You can store these Valentine’s Chocolate Dipped Oreos in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they should last for up to 2 weeks.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- You can use this recipe for various different holidays.
- Make sure that you use gel food coloring so the chocolate does not seize.
