Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the coating
  • 16 ounces Semisweet chocolate disks Choose couverture-style disks for a smoother melt.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Peppermint extract Use pure peppermint extract, not peppermint oil.
  • 2 tablespoons Green sprinkles Choose jimmies or sanding sugar that won’t bleed color.
Main ingredients
  • 24 cookies Mint flavored Oreos Ensure freshness for best flavor and texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the semisweet chocolate disks in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir thoroughly and continue heating in 30-second bursts, stirring well until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
  2. Add peppermint extract to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Dipping
  1. Using a fork, submerge one Oreo at a time into the chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Tap the fork against the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off.
  2. Transfer the coated Oreo to the prepared sheet. Repeat until all cookies are coated.
Decoration
  1. Drizzle remaining melted chocolate over the dipped cookies and sprinkle with green sprinkles immediately.
  2. Let the cookies set at room temperature for 30–60 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For freezing, flash-freeze in a single layer then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
