Sweet Treats

Chocolate Dipped Oreos

So maybe it’s obvious by now, but in case it isn’t, I have to confess that I love chocolate, and I love dipping things in chocolate. I mean, can you really blame me? A couple of days ago I shared my chocolate dipped jumbo marshmallows, and now here I am sharing chocolate dipped Oreos. I know, I’m hanging my head in shame. I apologize to you, and to all of your waistbands which will really be put to the test with all of these delicious treats. But what I’m not sorry about is how delicious these chocolate dipped Oreos are. I was honestly expecting them to just be decently good, but these aren’t just decently good. They are really, really delicious! They are actually by far the best chocolate covered “thing” I have ever made, or ever tasted!

My husband is a BIG Oreo fan. Several times a week he has Oreos and a glass of milk after dinner. He wasn’t too excited to try one of my “desecrated Oreos,” but I forced him to try one and watched as he chewed it up. A smile slowly formed across his face. “Wow…these are actually really, really good,” he exclaimed as he reached down for another one. Coming from somewhat of an Oreo Snob (and I say that in the most loving way possible) that’s a big compliment!

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. lay out a piece of wax paper on your counter/table
  2. melt the candy wafers, and stir until the chocolate is smooth
  3. dip the Oreos halfway into the chocolate. If the Oreos have a cute design on them, be cognizant of how you’re holding the Oreo when you dip it so that you don’t cover up the design
  4. hold the chocolate dipped Oreos over a bowl while decorating with sprinkles
  5. set the Oreos on the wax paper. If you used the spring/Easter Oreos, or other Oreos with cute designs, make sure you set them on the wax paper with the cute design facing up.
  6. let the Oreos sit out until the chocolate has hardened
  7. once the chocolate has hardened, store them in an airtight container to keep the Oreos from getting stale.

I gave some of these goodies to one of my best friends for her birthday, and I got a text later that night after she had tried one saying, “These Oreos are the bomb!” And guess what – she wasn’t lying. They’re the bomb! The moral of the story is that people really love these! So, make tons, gift them like crazy, and you’ll be the most adored little baker who only spent 20 minutes making the tastiest treats ever!

Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

This is such a quick and easy treat, and by quick and easy I mean less than 20 minutes from start to finish! Hallelujah! If you have little ones, this is a great activity for them to help with. Our 4-year-old helped me the entire time, and halfway through she screamed, “this is the best day ever!” She wasn’t lying – it’s hard to have a bad day when you’re dipping giant marshmallows in melted chocolate and decorating them with sprinkles. And of course you have to sample the finished product to make sure they are tasty enough, and sampling sweets has never made anyone sad.

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. cover a baking sheet with wax paper
  2. melt the candy wafers, and stir until the chocolate is smooth
  3. dip the marshmallows halfway into the bowl of melted chocolate
  4. hold the chocolate dipped marshmallows over a bowl while sprinkling the sprinkles over the marshmallows
  5. set the marshmallows, chocolate side up, on the wax covered baking sheet
  6. once you have finished dipping/decorating all of the marshmallows, set the baking sheet in the fridge so that the chocolate will harden faster
  7. after the chocolate has hardened, store the marshmallows in an airtight container to keep them fresh

These make an adorable little gift for friends, neighbors, and teachers, and they also make super fun party favors for your child’s birthday party.

When gifting these goodies, I like to drop one marshmallow in a little cellophane bag, and tie it with some cute ribbon. Instant cute yumminess!
