How To Make Easy Peppermint White Chocolate Covered Oreos
Step One: Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper for easy, non-stick cleanup.
Step Two: Place the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high power for 30-second bursts, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth and liquid.
Step Three: Using a fork or dipping tool, immerse one Oreo cookie three-quarters of the way into the melted white chocolate. Rotate the cookie to ensure full coverage, then lift it out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Immediately place the coated cookie onto the prepared baking sheet and generously sprinkle the top with the crushed peppermint.
Easy Peppermint White Chocolate Covered Oreos Recipe Tips
- Use high-quality white chocolate: It melts smoother and gives a glossy, professional finish.
- Microwave in short intervals: 20–30 seconds at a time, stirring in between to avoid burning.
- Cool cookies before dipping: Helps prevent melting the Oreo cream and keeps the cookie intact.
- Sprinkle peppermint immediately: Add crushed candy before chocolate sets so it sticks perfectly.
- Use parchment or silicone mats: Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Tap off excess chocolate: Gently shake the cookie after dipping for a smooth, even coating.
- Optional toppings: Add festive sprinkles or colored sugar for extra holiday flair.
Storing and Make Ahead Instructions
- Storing Instructions: Store the coated Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crisp and fresh. They will stay good for up to one week.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: You can prepare these Oreos a few days in advance for holiday parties or gifting. Just keep them in a single layer in an airtight container to prevent sticking or smudging.
Easy Peppermint White Chocolate Covered Oreos Recipe Faqs
Why did my chocolate seize (turn hard and grainy)? Chocolate seizes when it comes into contact with even a tiny amount of water or when it is overheated. Tip: Use fresh, dry utensils and microwave in short, 30-second bursts, stirring well between each.
Can I use chocolate chips instead of wafers? You can, but they are harder to melt smoothly. Chocolate chips contain stabilizers that keep their shape. For best results, use high-quality melting wafers or candy melts, which are designed for easy dipping and a smooth, glossy finish.
Can I use fresh peppermint instead of candy? No. Fresh mint leaves have too much moisture and will cause the chocolate to seize or become sticky. You must use crushed hard peppermint candy or candy canes.
How long do the cookies last? When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these cookies will last for up to 2 weeks. They are also excellent when stored in the refrigerator.
What’s the best way to crush the peppermint? Place the peppermint candies in a zip-top bag, squeeze out the air, and use a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat tenderizer to crush them into small pieces.
How can I make the chocolate dry faster? Place the baking sheet of dipped cookies into the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. This will quickly firm up the coating and give it a nice snap.
Why is the chocolate peeling off the cookie? The Oreo cookie may have been damp or cold before dipping. Ensure the cookies are at room temperature and dry before you begin dipping.
