Chocolate Dipped Oreos with Peppermint
I am in love with Oreos and when you cover them in chocolate they are just to die for! Seriously they are one of the best ways to eat an oreo cookie. With the combination of chocolate and peppermint they taste like a thin mint cookie but better.

Tips for Making Chocolate Covered Oreo Pops
If you are planning on just making Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos you can skip the step for putting in the lollipop stick.
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.
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.
As for the chocolate, you can use milk chocolate melting chocolate, dark chocolate melting chocolate or white chocolate melting chocolate.
Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos Ingredients
You don’t need many ingredients to make chocolate covered Oreo pops, all you need is melting chocolate, crushed candy canes and of course Oreo Cookies.
- 45 oreo cookies
- 24 ounces chocolate candy melts
- 4 candy canes
How to make Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos
Get out 2 or 3 cookie sheets and line them with parchment paper or silicon mats.
Very carefully twist the tops off of all the Oreo’s and set all of the Oreos on the prepared cookie sheets. Don’t over crowd them, you do not want them touching each other when you put them back on the silicon mat.
Melt 1/2 cup chocolate over a double boiler. Once chocolate is melted dip the end of a lollipop stick in candy and gently push it into the cream side of the Oreo half way in and all the way down.Then top the blank side of the Oreo with a small amount of chocolate and sandwich it with the other side of the cookie. Do this for all Oreos and then let them sit for 10 minutes.
Once the 10 minutes is up and your Oreo cookies have hardened, melt the remainder of your chocolate using a double boiler.
Then dip the Oreo into the melted candy, turning to cover them completely. Tap the stick on the edge of the container to get of the extra chocolate carefully.
Set the dipped Oreo Pop on it’s back on one of the prepared cookie sheets and sprinkle with the crushed candy cane.
Do this until all Oreo Pops are done.
Let sit on silicon mat for 30 minutes, until all chocolate has cooled and hardened. Then you can use plastic treat bags to make them travel friendly or store them in an air tight container.
