Description
These Chocolate Covered Mint Oreos are a delightful treat combining crunchy mint-flavored cookies and smooth chocolate. They’re easy to prepare and make for an unforgettable dessert every time.
Ingredients
- mint flavored oreos – 24 cookies
- semisweet chocolate disks – 16 ounces
- peppermint extract – 1/4 teaspoon
- green sprinkles – 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Place the semisweet chocolate disks in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Add peppermint extract to the melted chocolate, mixing well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Using a fork, dip one Oreo cookie at a time into the melted chocolate. Lift the cookie and gently tap the fork against the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-coated Oreo onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Once all cookies are coated, pour the remaining melted chocolate into a small piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner cut off.
- Drizzle the chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the cookies, then immediately sprinkle with green sprinkles.
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
Notes
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Feel free to change the sprinkles to match any holiday or occasion.
