Chocolate Covered Oreos are quick and easy to make and add a festive touch to any party. Use whatever color candy coating you want to match your cookies to your party color scheme.

These chocolate dipped Oreos add a festive touch to any party you serve them at. They are a fun way to tie in the color scheme of your party or holiday. I also love wrapping them up and giving them as gifts at the holidays.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Oreos

Supplies needed:

  • Wilton Candy Melts
  • Sprinkles
  • Double Stuffed Oreos or other stuffed sandwich cookies.
  • Lollipop sticks.   
  • Carefully remove one side of the cookie.  There will be breakage but that’s o.k., you can still use them.  The chocolate coating will cover a multitude of mistakes.

  • Melt your chocolate.  I do mine in the microwave it a microwave-safe bowl but it can also be done on the stovetop.
  • Add a dollop of the melted chocolate to the cream filling and gently press the lollipop stick into it.

  • Place the other half of the cookie on top and press gently down. Again, prepare for breakage.  Note the broken cookies in the photo below.  The melted chocolate will hold the cookie together as it sets up.

  • Dip cookie lollipop gently into the melted chocolate, covering both sides.  I used a spoon to scoop the chocolate up to help cover better. Gently tap on edge on the sides of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. My chocolate may have been a bit thick so it didn’t cover really smoothly but that is o.k. because the sprinkles covered it up! See below for a tip to thin out your chocolate.

  • Add your sprinkles in the color of your choice. You can also drizzle with additional chocolate.
  • Place them on a wire cooling rack or you could also place them on parchment paper. I had a bit of a problem getting them off the cooling rack so I recommend the parchment paper. Allow chocolate to harden completely before removing.

Can I Use Chocolate Chips Instead of Candy Coating?

You can but I find that the candy melts or a good quality melting chocolate works best. Chocolate Chips don’t melt as smoothly as the melts do and make dipping more difficult.

School Colored Chocolate Dipped Oreos

I was making these for my daughter’s college graduation party so I used her school colors – blue and white.

The chocolate dipped Oreos became part of the decorations for our graduation party when I filled a little bucket full of blue and white candy, I used  Blue Jelly Bellies and White Sixlets and placed the Cookie Lollipops in there adding in some cute little BYU pennants too.

Chocolate Covered Oreo Variations

There are so many possibilities and variations you can do.

St. Patrick’s Day: I did a slight variation where I only dipped half of the cookie into the chocolate. It’s a little quicker and easier and I didn’t mess with putting them on sticks.

Valentines Day: Dip them into pink chocolate and add pink sprinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long with chocolate dipped Oreos last?

If you keep them in an airtight container they can last up to two weeks but they always disappear before that at our house.

My chocolate is too thick and doesn’t dip easily.

Add a few drops of vegetable oil, coconut oil or canola oil to your melted chocolate and it will thin out.

    The few drops of oil really made a difference and easy to coat the cookie. Using the fork is genius

      Just keep them in an airtight container and they will last for 4-5 days

    Excited to make these for my daughter’s graduation party in a couple weeks. What size pail did you use? Then, what size lollipop sticks? How much candy is inside the buckets? I plan to have 3 buckets filled with the candy and Oreo pops out on display at the food table and wondered if a 2 lb bag of candy in 3 different colors would be enough. Also, if we plan to make 100 cookies, how many bags of candy melts do you recommend?

      I picked the buckets up at the dollar section of Target – they are probably five inches tall and about five inches across. I’m not sure how much candy I used to fill them, sorry. The amount will definitely depend on the size of your containers. There is a link to the lollipop sticks in the post and they are 6 inches long. I really can’t tell you how much candy you would need for 100 cookies either, sorry. I didn’t make nearly that many. The melt packages are 12 oz. and I think I used two, one white and one blue for a couple dozen cookies.
      Have fun!
