Ingredients
  

Chocolate coating
  • 16 oz white melting chocolate or candy melts Use melting chocolate or candy melts for a smooth coating that sets cleanly.
Cookies
  • 24 Oreo cookies Keep cookies dry for best chocolate adhesion.
Sprinkles
  • 2 tbsp red sprinkles For bright red accents.
  • 2 tbsp blue sprinkles For bright blue accents.
  • 2 tbsp patriotic star sprinkles Adds patriotic star decoration.
Optional drizzle
  • 1 red and blue candy melts Optional; use as a thin drizzle for extra color.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep
  1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the white melting chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Dip and decorate
  1. Dip each Oreo completely into the melted chocolate so the cookie is fully coated.
  2. Lift each Oreo with a fork and gently tap to remove excess chocolate.
  3. Place the coated Oreo on the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Immediately decorate the wet coating with red sprinkles, blue sprinkles, and patriotic star sprinkles.
Finish and set
  1. If desired, drizzle melted red and blue candy melts over the cookies using a light hand.
  2. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, until the coating no longer looks wet.
  3. Refrigerate for 15 minutes for faster setting, then check that the coating is firm to the touch.
  4. Serve right away or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Pro tip: decorate right after dipping—if the chocolate skins over, the sprinkles won’t stick well. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days (texture stays crisp). Freezing isn’t recommended because sprinkles and chocolate can lose their ideal crunch. For a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free white chocolate or candy melts labeled dairy-free and follow the same melting/dipping method.
