Ingredients You’ll Need
- Oreo cookies – 1 standard package (approx. 24 cookies): These classic cookies are essential for that well-loved flavor and crunch. Feel free to use different varieties like peanut butter or mint for a unique twist.
- Chocolate melting wafers or semi-sweet chips – 12 oz: The melting wafers provide a smooth, glossy finish, while semi-sweet chocolate chips can also make a delicious dip. Just be sure to use high-quality chocolate for the best taste!

How to Make Chocolate Dipped Oreos with Sprinkles
Melt the Chocolate: Place 12 oz of chocolate melting wafers or semi-sweet chips in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Repeat this process in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.
Dip the Oreo: Take one Oreo cookie and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. This simple technique ensures an even coating, making your cookies not just delicious but also visually appealing.
Lay It Down: Carefully lay the dipped cookie onto a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper. This prevents the chocolate from sticking, allowing for easy cleanup later on.
Sprinkle Away: While the chocolate is still wet, generously shake 2-3 tablespoons of assorted sprinkles onto the dipped portion of the cookie. The sprinkles will beautifully adhere to the chocolate, giving each cookie its own delicious personality.
Repeat the Process: Continue dipping and sprinkling the remaining Oreo cookies until all have been coated. You’ll love the rhythm of this fun and easy process!
Let Them Set: Allow the cookies to sit undisturbed for approximately 20 minutes at room temperature or pop them in the fridge for 10 minutes until the chocolate has fully hardened. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect snap when you bite into your cookie.
Serve or Store: Enjoy your Chocolate Dipped Oreos with Sprinkles immediately, or store them in an airtight container for future indulgence.
Storing & Reheating
To store your delicious Chocolate Dipped Oreos with Sprinkles, keep them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. If you want to extend their life, refrigerate them for up to two weeks. For longer storage, consider freezing the cookies in a single layer within a freezer-safe container for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature. Note that the chocolate might lose some glossiness after freezing, but the taste remains delightful!
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid burning the chocolate by stirring well between heat intervals, and keep an eye on it to prevent overheating.
- Ensure your Oreo cookies are fresh for the best taste and overall experience.
- Feel free to personalize your cookie decorations—use themed sprinkles for holidays or special occasions.
