Chocolate-covered Oreos
Ingredients
Oreos
1 lb. candy melts—your choice of color
Sprinkles
Cookie/Oreo chocolate molds
Directions
Place the Oreos into the chocolate mold. Melt chocolate. Pour chocolate into each mold, enough to cover the Oreo completely. Allow chocolate to harden in a cool area.
Melt some additional candy melts to decorate. Once the chocolate-covered Oreos are dry, place on parchment paper. Dip a fork or the back of a spoon into the additional melted chocolate and drizzle over Oreos in a side-to-side motion. Place sprinkles onto wet chocolate drizzles.
