Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo Cookies (I used Double Stuf, but you can use any kind)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz almond bark (vanilla) or white chocolate candy melts*
- 8 oz chocolate bark or chocolate candy melts*
- 24 rolos
- 1/3-1/2 cup sprinkles, mini M&Ms, crushed peppermint candies, etc.
Instructions
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
-
Open each Oreo cookie in half and spread a little peanut butter inside each cookie. Then, sandwich the cookies back together. Set aside.
-
In a microwave safe bowl (or in a double broiler on the stove), melt the vanilla almond bark in 30 second increments, stirring after each hit.
-
Next, melt the chocolate almond bark in 30 second increments, stirring after each hit.
-
Dip each Oreo into the melted almond bark with a fork. Once the cookie is covered, gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. (I did 12 cookies in vanilla almond bark and 12 in chocolate bark.) Gently place on the parchment lined baking sheet.
-
Dip the edge of each Rolo candy in almond bark and press to the top of each Oreo cookie until it sticks (you can use wrapped or unwrapped Rolos—I wanted the gold color so I kept my Rolo candies wrapped).
-
Lastly, sprinkle each cookie with festive sprinkles, peppermints, or M&M candies.
-
If desired, before adding the toppings, you can do an extra drizzle of almond bark over each cookie (as I did in the photos). Pour any extra almond bark into a piping bag or plastic sandwich bag and gently drizzle it over the chocolate covered Oreos. Then add the sprinkles on top.
Recipe Notes
Notes:
*I wanted to use both vanilla and chocolate almond bark. However, you can use one or the other if you prefer. If you only use one flavor, you will need 16 oz or roughly 2 cups.
*And, you can use white chocolate or dark chocolate (or semi-sweet) in place of the almond bark/candy melts. Almond bark melts a little bit easier, but substituting with chocolate is fine.
