Variations of this Recipe
Change up the Oreo Cookie Flavor. I like using traditional Chocolate Oreos, but you can use Vanilla Oreos, S’Mores Oreos, Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreos, or any other Oreo Cookie flavor you want to.
Change up the Candy Melts. I like using the white chocolate melts but you can also use the red candy melts or the blue candy melts.
Change up the Sprinkles. I made these to be patriotic and to be perfect for Memorial Day, 4th Of July, or any other patriotic celebrations so I used Red White and Blue colors, but you can use any color sprinkles you want to so they match any holiday.
Tips for Making Chocolate Covered Oreos
When you are taking apart the Oreo cookies, you want to be careful. Oreo cookies break easily, so do not rush when you are taking them apart.
When making chocolate covered Oreos, it is important to use parchment paper or silicon mats. You do not want them to stick to the surface you are putting them on after you dip the Oreos in the chocolate.
If you are planning on just making Chocolate Covered Oreos you can skip the step for putting in the lollipop stick.
What is the Best Way to Melt Chocolate for Dipping Oreos?
The best way I have found to melt chocolate is by using a double boiler. I find that it melts chocolate more evenly then melting chocolate in a bowl in the microwave. If you have never used a double boiler then make sure you check out how to melt the chocolate. You will probably never melt chocolate in the microwave again once you use a double boiler, it is so much easier!
Personally, I find the double stuffed Oreos work best for making chocolate covered Oreos. I like the extra bit of cream filling that they have. You can use the regular Oreos if you want to and that is what you have on hand.
How to Dip Oreos in Melted White Chocolate
You can use a fork, a spoon or your fingers but I find that to be messy. I suggest grabbing this Dipping Tool 3-Piece Set that will make it MUCH easier to dip the Oreos in chocolate.
I find it best to use a bowl or a short glass when melting the chocolate to make it easier to dip the Oreos in the chocolate.
How to Store White Chocolate Covered Oreos
Chocolate covered Oreo cookies will stay fresh when they are stored in an airtight container at room temperature. When you are storing them in an airtight container you will want to layer the cookies on a single layer.
Then place a piece of parchment paper and layer more. Continue doing this until you have filled up the container.
Using parchment paper between the chocolate dipped cookies will keep them from sticking together. It will also make it easier to remove the cookies from the container.

How to Make Red, White & Blue Chocolate Covered Oreos

These are super cute and look very easy to make.. The only tricky part would be the stick and the best part is you could eat the mistakes 🙂 The USO is great and I am glad your daughter got to see Elmo, I bet Sesame Street put on a nice performance!
