Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 15 Oreo Cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 6 oz White Melting Chips
- 3 oz Green Melting Wafers
Decorations
- 15 Candy Stars tree toppers
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Jimmies (optional) for tree trunk
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line a pan with parchment paper and set it aside to cool the decorated Oreos later.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place 6 oz of white melting chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat heating in 15-20 second intervals and stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie halfway into the melted white chocolate, ensuring a smooth coating. Place the dipped cookies onto the prepared parchment paper to set.
- Melt the green wafers: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the 3 oz of green melting wafers. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 15-second bursts while stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Decorate with green chocolate: Transfer the melted green chocolate into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag. Cut a very small tip from one corner.
- Draw Christmas trees: Using a back-and-forth motion, pipe green Christmas tree shapes on the white chocolate half of each Oreo cookie.
- Add festive toppings: Place a candy star at the top of each tree and use chocolate jimmies to form the tree trunk beneath the green chocolate decoration.
Notes
- If using white chocolate chips for dipping and decorating instead of melting wafers, add a teaspoon of shortening to make the chocolate smoother. This will take longer to harden.
- You can add green food coloring to white chocolate if green melting wafers are unavailable.
- Get creative with the tree designs—try different shapes and sizes for added variety.
- You may choose to fully dip the Oreos in melted chocolate instead of a half dip for a richer treat.
- If melted chocolate is too thick, add a small amount of shortening to thin it out for easier dipping and piping.
- Using a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a small cut corner provides the best control for decorating.
