I’m all about the WOW factor in a treat and these Chocolate Dipped Oreos totally deliver. Everyone loves Oreo cookies. Dipping them in chocolate with a layer of colorful sprinkles take this treat to another level. Chocolate Dipped Oreos are a fun project to do with the kids, totally delicious, and make an adorable gift for any occasion
Spread sprinkles in an even layer.
If you are making these for gifts, think about changing up the sprinkles for the holiday. You can use red and pink for Valentine’s Day, green and red for Christmas, and green for St. Patrick’s Day. You might also want to shop the cookie aisle to see what fun Oreo flavors they have in stock. My grocery store offers seasonal options like pumpkin spice, red velvet, and birthday cake. The combinations of Oreos and sprinkles are endless!
Use a light layer of chocolate to cover sprinkles.
One of the most important things I learned in culinary school is that we eat with our eyes first. I always want my finished product to be beautiful and appealing to the eye. There are easy tricks you can learn to take your skills up a notch and sometimes, it just means learning a few PRO TIPS. Here are my best tips to make your Chocolate Dipped Oreos look professionally done and bakery-ready!
Place Oreos in center of the mold. Pipe chocolate down sides and across the top.
1) Use a Candy Mold for professional result.
2) Use a single layer of sprinkles.
3) When you place your Oreo on top of the first layer of chocolate, you want the Oreo level with the top of the Oreo mold. If it is sticking out over the top, you won’t get that even, flat bottom finish.
4) No need for a piping bag. You can use a Ziplock sandwich bag. Simply fill the sandwich bag with melted chocolate, seal it, and snip off a tiny corner. Makeshift piping bag ready to go!

Use thin layer of chocolate to cover sprinkles.
Very important that when you place your Oreo on top of the first layer of chocolate, you don't want the Oreo higher than the mold. You want it level with the mold so that you get a flat, even finish with final layer of chocolate.
