Ingredients Needed
Oreos – Classic chocolate sandwich cookies add crunch and rich flavor. Golden Oreos also work great for a lighter look or for those who want a different flavor.
White Chocolate Chips – For the best texture and taste, go with Ghirardelli. The chocolate melts smooth and sets with a lovely snap.
Colorful Sprinkles – Choose a blend that fits your party theme. Mermaid vibes? Think teal, lilac, and seafoam. Unicorn party? Mix in pastels and pearls.
Supplies Needed:
Silicone mold – while you don’t have to use a mold, the chocolate covered Oreos come out perfect every time and the mold is what gives them their shape. Plus, these really help to speed up the process instead of hand dipping.
- 1. Versatile Baking Use: These molds silicone are designed for versatility, enabling you to create a wide range of treats including chocolates, cookies, candies, mini cakes, and jellies. Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or experimenting with new recipes, these chocolate molds adapt to various baking needs.
How to Make White Chocolate Covered Oreos
Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
Spoon a layer of chocolate into the bottom of each cavity in your silicone Oreo mold.
Gently place an Oreo into the mold, pressing it just enough to nestle in.
Add more melted chocolate over the top, but don’t overfill. Too much can make the cookie peek through once set. Tap the mold lightly on the counter to even out the tops and remove air bubbles.
Decorate immediately with sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until fully set.
Pop the Oreos out of the mold and they’re ready to serve.
No-Mold Option
If you don’t have a silicone mold, you can still make gorgeous chocolate covered Oreos. Here’s how:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dip each Oreo into the melted white chocolate using a fork. Let the excess drip off.
- Place on the parchment and quickly add sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Chill the tray in the fridge until firm.
They won’t have the perfectly rounded sides, but they’ll still look festive and taste amazing.
Helpful Tips
Use a silicone mold for best results and easy release.
Don’t add all the chocolate at once, then drop in the cookie. This often causes the Oreo to rise and poke through the coating as it cools.
Stir your chocolate frequently during melting to prevent overheating.
If chocolate starts to seize (becomes thick or grainy), add a small amount of neutral oil like coconut or vegetable and stir gently to smooth it out.
Make them a day in advance and store in the fridge for effortless party day prep.
Substitutions and Variations
Use dark or milk chocolate for a richer version.
Swap out the sprinkles for other themed holidays and special events.
Try different Oreo flavors like mint, birthday cake, or peanut butter to match your theme.
Add edible glitter or shimmer dust for a magical finish.
If you have a Cricut and edible image sheets, you can personalize each Oreo with themed toppers. Just place the edible image at the bottom of the mold before adding the chocolate.
How to Store
Store chocolate covered Oreos in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Common FAQs
Not at all. While molds make for a polished look, you can absolutely make these by hand. Review to the the No Mold Section in the post for instructions on how to dip by hand.
Yes! Once they’re fully set, store them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge before serving for best texture. Do not thaw them at room temperature, sometimes this will make harden chocolate sweat.
They’re party-perfect for up to a week when kept in an airtight container in the fridge.
