How to Make Chocolate Covered Oreos
- Melt the white chocolate almond bark according to package directions until smooth. Stir well to remove any lumps.
- Spoon melted chocolate into each cavity of an Oreo candy mold, filling it about halfway.
- Place an Oreo into each cavity and gently press it down so the chocolate comes up around the sides.
- Spoon more melted chocolate over the top of each Oreo until fully covered.
- Use an offset spatula or the flat edge of a knife to scrape across the top of the mold, removing excess chocolate and smoothing the surface so the tops are flat.
- Tap the mold gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or place the mold in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, until firm.
- Once set, carefully remove the chocolate covered Oreos from the mold.
- Drizzle with additional melted chocolate if desired, then immediately sprinkle with colored sugar while the chocolate is still wet.
- Allow the chocolate to fully set before storing or serving.
Quick Tips
- Use almond bark for the smoothest chocolate coating
- Let Oreos come to room temperature before adding them to the mold
- If the chocolate thickens, reheat slowly in short intervals
- Chocolate transfer sheets can be used instead of drizzles for a more decorative look.
Storage
Store chocolate-covered Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For gifting, place them in cupcake wrappers to keep them neat and protected from crushing or smudging.
