Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup edible glitter
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and fully melted.
- Hold each Oreo cookie by its edge and carefully dip it into the melted green candy coating, ensuring full and even coverage. Gently tap the cookie on the side of the bowl to remove excess coating.
- Place the green-coated Oreos onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between each cookie.
- While the green coating is still wet, sprinkle mini chocolate chips in a triangular tree-like pattern to create the appearance of Christmas tree branches.
- Lightly dust the cookies with edible glitter to give them a festive, sparkling appearance.
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
- Once completely set, transfer the cookies to a serving platter or store in an airtight container.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your candy melts are smoothly melted but not too hot, which can cause cracking or uneven coating.
- Dipping Technique: Use a fork or dipping tool to help you coat the Oreos evenly and remove excess candy melt.
- Quick Setting: If you're in a hurry, use the refrigerator to help the cookies set faster, but be careful not to leave them too long to prevent condensation.
- Glitter Application: Apply edible glitter while the green coating is still slightly wet to ensure it sticks properly.
- Creativity is Key: Experiment with different sprinkle patterns to make each "tree" unique.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture and festive appearance.
