Chocolate sandwich cookies dipped in chocolate and sprinkled in extra deliciousness? Yes, please! Chocolate-Dipped Oreos are a fun, festive treat for any holiday or special event.
In a medium mixing bowl, preferably microwave-safe plastic, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the coconut oil until both are well combined.
1 10-ounce package dark chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Slip a toothpick into the center of the filling of one Oreo cookie. Holding the cookie by the toothpick, dip the cookie into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess to drip off and place the dipped cookie onto the prepared sheet. Sprinkle with the colored sprinkles.
14.3 oz chocolate sandwich cookies, 2 tablespoon colored sprinkles
Allow the dipped treats to sit until the chocolate is completely set. Then remove from the sheet and store in an airtight container, layered between waxed paper.
