Ingredient Notes
- White melting wafers: Ghirardelli melts give you a smooth finish and set up nicely with good shine. Stick with melting wafers or candy melts rather than white chocolate chips, which can seize and melt unevenly.
- Food coloring: Oil-based food coloring is important here so the chocolate stays smooth. Gel or water-based colors can cause it to thicken or clump.
- Golden Oreos: The vanilla cookie works especially well with white chocolate and keeps the colors bright and clean. Regular Oreos work too!
- Edible glitter dust: A light hand goes a long way. A soft shimmer looks best and keeps the finish from feeling heavy.
- Conversation hearts: Add these after the chocolate has fully set so they stick cleanly and don’t melt into the coating.
Quick Prep Notes
Do I need oil-based food coloring for this?
Yes. Oil-based coloring is important when working with melting wafers. Gel or water-based colors can cause the chocolate to seize and turn grainy.
How full should I fill the mold before adding the Oreo?
Fill each cavity about halfway, press the Oreo in gently, then cover it completely with more chocolate. This helps keep the Oreo centered and gives you a smooth, even shell.
Why do the Oreos need to come to room temperature before decorating?
If they’re still cold, condensation can form on the surface and cause the glitter or chocolate “glue” to slide or streak. Letting them warm up slightly keeps everything neat.
Candy Crush Chocolate Covered Oreos
Ingredients
- 1 plastic Oreo mold: From Amazon or Spinning Leaf
- 1 bag Ghirardelli white melting wafers
- Oil-based food coloring in lavender, hot pink, and purple
- Golden Oreos
- Pink or silver edible glitter dust
- Conversation Hearts
Instructions
- Set the Oreo mold on a flat surface and make sure it is completely dry. Melt the white melting wafers according to the package directions, then divide the melted chocolate evenly between three glass or porcelain bowls. Tint one bowl lavender, one hot pink, and one purple, stirring until the colors are smooth and even.
- Spoon the colored chocolate into the mold cavities, filling each one about halfway. You should end up with two cavities of each color. Press a Golden Oreo gently into each cavity, then cover with more chocolate until full. Tap the mold lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles. Set aside a small amount of melted chocolate to use later for attaching the conversation hearts.
- Place the filled mold in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set. Once firm, carefully release the cookies onto a cutting board and let them come to room temperature. Lightly spray or dust with edible glitter for a soft sparkle.
- Rewarm the reserved chocolate and use a small dab to attach two conversation hearts to the top of each Oreo. Let the chocolate set completely before serving or packaging.
FAQ
Can I make these without a mold?
Yes, you can dip the Oreos by hand if needed. A mold gives a cleaner shape, but dipped Oreos still taste great and look fun.
How should I store these Chocolate Covered Oreos?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator if your kitchen runs warm.
Can I use white chocolate chips instead of melting wafers?
Melting wafers work best because they’re designed to melt smoothly and set firmly. White chocolate chips can be used, but they may need a little coconut oil or shortening to thin them out.
Do conversation hearts melt in warm rooms?
They can soften slightly if it’s very warm. Keep the Oreos in a cool spot once decorated to help them hold their shape.
Can I make these ahead for a party or gifting?
Yes. These are a great make-ahead treat and hold up well when made a day or two in advance.
