Steps for Making Christmas Oreos

Melting the Candy

  • Place the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat the process until it’s smooth.
  • Melt the green candy melts in a separate bowl, following the same steps as you did for the white.

Dipping the Oreos

  • The bottom of the Oreo is dipped in the white candy melt to make it look like snow. Dip each Oreo so that about 1/4 of the Oreo is covered. Gently tap the Oreo on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess candy melt.
  • Place the coated Oreos on a parchment lined baking sheet or plate.

Creating the Christmas Trees

  • Transfer the melted green candy melts to a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag instead. Snip a small hole in the corner of the bag, or at the end of the piping bag.
  • Drizzle the green candy melt over the top of each Oreo in a zigzag pattern to create the look of a Christmas tree.

Decorating the Trees

  • While the green tree is still wet, place a star-shaped sprinkle at the top of each tree.
  • Sprinkle the nonpareils onto the trees to decorate.

Allow the cookies to set completely. Once they are set they are ready to eat, or to package up. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
