These cookies are:

- They are delicious! How can you go wrong with Belgian chocolate and Oreos?
- So much fun to make with kids.
- Are perfect for gifting! Everyone will fall in love especially with Santa and Mrs. Claus!
Ingredient Notes
- Oreos - I like to use Cinnamon Bun Oreos you can also use Golden Oreos. I just like the idea of Mr. and Mrs. Claus being cinnamon flavored!
- White and Dark Belgian Chocolate - chocolate covered Oreos made with Belgian chocolate are my favorite! They are more elevated flavor than candy melts in my opinion. However candy melts are a great substitution when you are short on time and don't want to spend time custom coloring your chocolate.
- Candy Color - I love using candy color with white chocolate as it allows me to create a unique color palette for my desserts. It's important to use oil based color for chocolate for best results.
- Assorted sprinkles - sprinkles really help to make these cookies come to life! White sanding sugar adds dreamy touches to Mrs. Claus' hair and Santa's hat and pom pom.
- M&M's - this recipe only really requires 4 M&M's but they are for two very cute details... Mrs. Claus' bun and Santa's pom pom on his hat. I used yellow ones as they were the lightest colors in the package so they could be fully covered in the white chocolate.
- Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups - these mini buttercups are cut in half to form the base of the snow globe cookie. This detail is really nice if you actually want to stand your cookie up. This would be so much fun for holiday place settings!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will chocolate covered Oreos last?
Chocolate covered Oreos will last for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container. Try to keep the Oreos in a cool dry place.If they are left somewhere warm they can melt and ruin your designs. They can be kept up to 6 months in the freezer if absolutely necessary.
Do chocolate covered Oreos need to be refrigerated?
You can choose to refrigerate chocolate covered Oreos if you would like. They will be fine in an airtight container in a cool dry area on the kitchen counter. If you are using Belgian chocolate to dip the Oreos and lots of design work, I recommend that they not be refrigerated to prevent changes in the color of the chocolate. Humidity can also cause the chocolate to sweat and the designs can run potentially ruining your creations.
How do you drizzle Oreos?
Drizzling Oreos is very simple. If you are not fussy about how perfect they will look, you can just dip a fork in the chocolate and drizzle the chocolate from side to side over the Oreo. If you want to be more precise with your drizzle use a piping bag with a very fine tip attached or cut the tiniest slit in the bag so you can control the amount of chocolate that you pipe over the Oreos. Be sure to have wax or parchment paper under your Oreos for easy clean up!
