Chocolate Covered Oreos Using a Mold

/

Chocolate covered Oreos are perfect for baby showers, birthday parties, gatherings, and other events. It’s also a great treat gift. 

I got this cookie mold on Amazon. The diameter of each cookie mold is about 2 inches. It’s the perfect size for Oreos. You can get it here. If you prefer silicone molds, get it here.

I’ll show you how to get the perfect chocolate covered Oreos. I like to do it this way so that the Oreos will stay in place. I tried the other way where you don’t refrigerate and just fill the melted chocolate to the top of the mold. Sometimes the Oreos don’t stay in place.

Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 6 Oreos
  • 1 pack of white chocolate chips
  • Cookie Mold
  • Piping bags
  • Food color
  • Sprinkles

Instructions:

In a small pot or bowl, melt the chocolate chips. Stir it frequently and be careful not to burn it. Add food coloring if you want. I’m going to leave it white for now.

Let the melted chocolate cool for 30 seconds to a minute then pour it into a piping bag and cut off the tip.

Fill the bottom of the mold with a thin layer of melted chocolate. Tap the mold gently against the work surface to spread the melted chocolate. Put the oreos on top of the melted chocolate. Refrigerate for 1-2 minutes. 

Take the mold out. Fill the rest of the mold until it’s covered. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until hardened. 

When the chocolate is hardened, pop out the oreos. 

Now it’s time to decorate and be creative. 

I made this chocolate covered Oreos for a baby shower so I bought these treat bags on Amazon. It is 4 in x 6 in. It fits perfectly. You can get it here.

Anybody’s kitchen drawer a mess? Can’t find what you need? Recently I found these Utoplike bamboo drawer dividers for my kitchen drawers. These can be used for any type of drawer.

It is made with 100% Moso bamboo. A box comes with 4 piece dividers. It expands from 12.25 inches to 17.25 inches and is 2.36 inches tall.

Very easy to adjust and install. No tools needed. Both ends have a non-slip silicone grip to hold in place and protect the drawers. It’s very sturdy and durable. I’m very satisfied with these and it’s so much easier to find what I need in my drawers now.
