Ingredients
See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all ingredients and quantities.
This is a treat that takes just two ingredients to make. Simple, easy, and a no-fuss recipe.
Oreos - You can use any flavor of Oreos you would like. Reach for a classic Oreo or opt for a double stuffed. You can also experiment with flavors of Oreos! Golden Oreos, mint Oreos, etc.
Chocolate - I used chocolate chips for this recipe but almond bark works as well. You can also use any color of candy melts if you want a colored Oreo cookie.
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles - Reach for any type of sprinkles you would like. From festive holiday sprinkles to specific colors to fit a theme! Even a classic rainbow sprinkles would be pretty!
- Chocolate - You can take more melted chocolate and drizzle over the top of the dipped cookies. This will add a more detailed look that offers an elegant presentation value. Get creative and do a different color of chocolate to take it a step further.
- Crushed Mints - Crushed peppermints, candy canes, or even chocolate Andes mints add a fun pop of color but a minty component to the cookies.
- Candy or Chocolate - While the chocolate is still wet sprinkle on chopped cookies, candy bars, etc. This will add a fun topping for friends and family.
- Pretzels - Sprinkle on some crushed pretzels for a salty to the sweet on these dipped Oreos! Even some Ruffle potato chips are a tasty salty addition.
- Nuts - Want some crunch? Add some chopped nuts on top for another salty and sweet variation.
How to Make Chocolate Covered Oreos
Place your parchment paper or wax paper on the counter or work surface.

Step 1 - Add your chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Then heat for 30 seconds. Stir well and repeat heating the 30 seconds until the chocolate is melted fully.
Step 2 - Use two forks to dip the Oreos in the melted chocolate.
Step 3 - Shake off the excess chocolate by tapping the wrist of the hand holding the fork.
Step 4 - Place the dipped cookies on the parchment paper.

Step 5 - Add toppings of choice while the chocolate is still wet.
Then let the chocolate-covered cookies fully set up before you place them in a container to store.
Storing Chocolate Covered Cookies
Room Temperature - These cookies can be stored at room temperature in a sealed container or airtight bag. Just place the cookies in a container and then store them for up to 7 days.
Freezing - Want to freeze the cookies for a longer shelf-life? Go right ahead and freeze for 5-6 months. Place in a freezer container and then when you want to eat let them thaw for a few hours at room temperature. Or eat straight from the freezer.

Tips for Success
- Make sure to melt the chocolate slowly, stirring between each heat cycle. Otherwise, it can burn the chocolate.
- Don't overheat the chocolate or it can cause it to thicken and seize up. You will heat until the chocolate is fully melted. Depending on the strength of the microwave the cook time can vary.
- Tap off the excess chocolate once you dip Oreos, or it will pool up around the cookie on the parchment paper.
- Add toppings after you dip each cookie. Otherwise, the chocolate will be set up and the toppings will not stick properly.
- Make as many or as few of these dipped Oreos as you would like. This is a recipe that you can adapt to your needs in terms of how many cookies you want.

Recipe FAQs
Classic Oreos are not gluten-free. You are welcome to reach for a gluten-free sandwich cookie to use if you need a gluten-free cookie for this recipe.
Go right ahead and customize the cookies with any decorations you want. The key is to add it after each cookie is dipped in the chocolate to ensure the toppings stick to the chocolate mixture on top of the cookie.
Any flavor of chocolate can be used. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet, white chocolate, dark chocolate etc. Mix and match chocolates or reach for any flavor you prefer.
Of course. Just melt the chocolate in batches and dip and decorate cookies as you go. This is a great way to enjoy a bigger batch of cookies to serve up a crowd.
Go right ahead and make these cookies in advance if you would like. Just whip up the cookies and keep them stored in a sealed container to prevent them from going stale. Then plate them up and enjoy.
