Ingredients
Scale
- 24 mint flavored oreos
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate disks
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons green sprinkles
Instructions
- Place the semisweet chocolate disks in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, stirring afterward.
- Continue heating in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until completely smooth and glossy.
- Add the peppermint extract to the melted chocolate and mix well to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Using a fork, dip one Oreo cookie into the chocolate, lifting it back out and gently tapping the fork against the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-covered Oreo onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Once all cookies are dipped, pour any remaining chocolate into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies in a zigzag pattern and immediately sprinkle green toppings on top.
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes until fully hardened.
Notes
Ensure chocolate is smooth and glossy by stirring frequently while heating.
Letting cookies sit at room temperature can enhance their flavor and texture.
Green sprinkles can be replaced with any color for different occasions.
