White Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos are a simple Christmas cookie that is fun to make and requires no baking! All ages will be sure to enjoy this holiday treat!

To make these Peppermint Oreos, look for holiday flavours like peppermint bark oreos or even mint oreos, but rest assured, if you can’t find those, a good old chocolate Oreo is perfectly suitable to make chocolate covered Oreos. You don’t technically need to use the Oreo brand either, there are other sandwich cookies very similar that might have other flavours to try. Using a candy cane or mint flavour cookie will certainly help the peppermint flavour shine! 

White Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos Recipe

Ingredients:
1 package Oreo cookies 
1 package [easyazon_link identifier=”B00HE5YK2I” locale=”US” tag=”m0dd5d-20″ localize=”y”]white candy melts[/easyazon_link] or 6 ounces white chocolate
Candy canes or peppermint candies, crushed

Directions:

To start, place the white candy melts or white chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and heat for  20-30 seconds intervals. Stir and repeat each time until they are completely melted and smooth. If you are using white chocolate, just chop it into small chunks before the melting process. Either will taste fine, the candy melts will have less of an authentic white chocolate taste, but will be a nice bright white colour. 

Dip the Oreos into the melted chocolate, push around with a spoon, as well as flipping the cookie over, until the cookie is completely covered. 

Using a fork, gently lift the cookie out of the melted wafers and tap lightly on the side of the dish to strain off any excess.

Place cookies onto a wax paper or parchment paper lined baking sheet. You don’t need to use the baking sheet but it will be much easier to move the cookies around if you do, especially if you plan on using the fridge to help with the cooling. 

Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy over the Oreos while the chocolate is still wet so they stick on nicely.

Repeat for as many cookies as you like or until you run out of candy melts. If the melted wafers start to harden you can just pop the bowl back into the microwave for 20 seconds and stir.

To speed the cooling and hardening process, you can place the tray into the fridge for about 10 minutes.

Once bitten into, you will see the pretty layers of the peppermint oreo cookie, the colour in the middle will depend on the flavour of cookie you have chosen. I have used the bright white candy melts with a mint oreo cookie.
