What’s better than an Oreo cookie?

How about an Oreo cookie that’s been dipped in chocolate and decorated?

We love making chocolate dipped Oreos for all sorts of occasions, from Christmas Oreos to Teddy Bear Oreos for Valentine’s Day. They’re easy to make, fun to decorate, and extra delicious with that added layer of chocolate. Plus, they look so festive on a party table!

These penguin Oreos are perfect for a Christmas or holiday party, or any winter occasion. They’d also make a great gift for kids to make for family, friends, or teachers.

All you need are a few simple candy ingredients and your favorite flavor of Oreo cookie (we used double stuffed). Let’s get started!

Instructions

To Prep:

  • Line a large cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone baking mat.
  • Melt the dark chocolate using a double-boiler or in the microwave. If microwaving, be sure to use a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.

To Decorate:

  1. Dip each Oreo in the melted chocolate, turning until completely coated. Place them on the lined baking sheet.
  2. Place one white chocolate melting wafer on the bottom half on the Oreo, pressing gently into the melted chocolate, to make the penguin’s belly. Place two candy eyes and an orange M&M for the nose.
  3. Place two peppermint candies on each side of the Oreo, to form the ear muffs.
  4. Separate the Twizzlers into individual strands, then cut those into 2 inch strips. Use one strip to form the strap of the earmuff on top of the penguin.

How Long Do Chocolate Coated Oreos Need To Dry?

You can dry the chocolate at room temperature (which will take at least an hour) or place the tray in the fridge to speed up the process. I find that the slow drying helps prevent the chocolate from turning a little lighter in color, but if you’re short on time the fridge setting only takes about 10-15 minutes.

Prep Tips

  • If you don’t have any peppermint candies on hand, you can swap with regular sized M&Ms to make them.
  • Switch up the flavor by using a different kind of Oreo cookie. Chocolate filling, holiday flavors, etc. would all be fun! You could even use multiple flavors!
  • For more decorating fun, use a black edible marker or melted black candy melts to draw little buttons and a bow tie on your penguins belly.
  • To store the cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature, away from any heat or light sources to prevent the coating from melting. You can also keep them in the refrigerator.
