Just trrrrrry to resist these lil’ babies!Tonight I am bringing these festive Oreos to my friend Laurel’s apartment for a holiday cookie exchange.
I can thank Ryan for the inspiration for these cookies, as he is perhaps the biggest fan of Oreos in the world. (Actually, my sister may hold that title, but it’s a pretty close call.)
Whenever Ryan and I stroll down Park Avenue in Winter Park, we always stop in Peterbrooke, a chocolate shop with the most amazingly delicious chocolate covered butter popcorn. It’s unreal.
While the chocolate-covered popcorn has my heart, Ryan loves the white chocolate-covered Oreos.
I figured I would try to recreate his beloved Oreos, but add a little festive flare to to the mix by adding crushed peppermint candy, red and green sprinkles and peppermint hot chocolate shavings from my favorite tin of hot cocoa made by Williams-Sonoma.
Second to the delicious taste, the best thing about these delicious-looking holiday cookies is just how EASY they were to make!
I only needed these key ingredients:
You really only need one package of Oreos and 1.5 bags of white chocolate chips, but adding crushed peppermint candies, chocolate shavings and sprinkles kicks the cookies up a notch.
To begin, I followed the melting directions on the back of the bag of white chocolate chips and heated them up until I had a thick bowl full of white chocolate.While the white chocolate chips were melting, I crushed the peppermint candies and made sure all of my decorating essentials were readily available, as chocolate hardens quickly!
Once the chocolate was melted, it was time to dip! I chose to only dip half of the cookie in the chocolate but you can dunk the whole Oreo in there if you’re a white chocolate fiend. Don’t be shy!
I then topped the white chocolate with a random assortment of my toppings, typically alternating between the crushed peppermint candies, sprinkles and chocolate shavings so I would have a nice variety of decorated cookies in the end. After each cookie was decorated, I placed it on top of foil and allowed the chocolate to cool and harden. Please make these for the Oreo lover in your life… even if that person is you! They will thank you… or you will thank yourself!
Happy Holidays! 😀

I already have the ingredients to make some snazzy Christmas chocolate pretzels for our holiday party. Guess what else I’m making now??? So cute and festive. My family’s going to be cursing me for providing such unhealthy yet yummy treats!
Danielle says
Those look AMAZING!
Mary (Sisters Running the Kitchen) says
yum!! I love the combination of Mint and Chocolate! These look like winners!
AshleyCarole says
I recently made these also with peppermint oreos, they are so yummy! I then drizzled the tops with melted chocolate to make little designs. The best ones are from Trader Joe’s but Oreos also makes some also!
Bess @ Bess Be Fit says
I think that if I made those that I would eat every last one…similar to the holiday pretzel treats 😉
Anna Walker says
I am soooo craving peppermint now!!!
Tracy says
YUM! Mint and chocolate is my favorite combo! I love how all of your recipes are creative, yet very easy to make!
Nathan Miller says
Cant believe you didnt use the Christmas Oreos with the red and green frosting or the peppermint seasonal oreos’ but still a great fast cookie to bring
Kelly says
When it comes to store bought cookies, Oreo’s rule every single time! And they are my absolute favorite fro-yo topping. These look awesome, Julie.
Lauren says
These are so pretty!
Kristen says
Hey JB!
Speaking of Oreos, I just recently ate and then made the most tasty treat – Oreo balls!
Here’s the recipe in case you want to try it:
1) mash a pack of oreos into a bowl
2) mix the crushed oreos with a block of cream cheese (this is a bit tough but starts to mix after a while)
3) form the mixture into balls and refrigerate for at least an hour
4) bring them back out and dip them in melted milk, dark, or white chocolate (your choice)
5) refrigerate again and then serve!
It’s a delightful taste – you’re gonna love it – super healthy as well! 😉
Melissa says

I don’t know if the hubby is a coffee drinker, but if so have him try dipping a regular oreo in his coffee.
It’s cookie crack, I tell you!
Angela says
Between these Oreos and the pretzels you made last week my mouth is watering every time I read your blog! I’m going to try your goat cheese and honey dip recipe out this weekend for a get together I’m going to! I’ll keep you posted how it turns out!

Heather (Heather's Dish) says

Anna @ ciaotochow says
I’m not a huge fan of Oreos and haven’t had one in ages, but after this post, I may just have to pick up a package and make these! – YUM!
Amber K says
I LOVE Oreos. Although I haven’t been able to find a good gluten-free version. I definitely need to though, because these look delicious!
Anna Walker says
I just made these! 🙂
Amy says
These are adorable! I am a fan of ANYTHING dipped in white chocolate. If anything could improve the deliciousness of an Oreo, it would be white chocolate.
Amy @ Serve At Once says
P.S. For the record, Double Stuff Oreos should be the only Oreo in existence so that I don’t feel guilty every time I eat one.
Yes mam.
Runeatrepeat says
I don’t really like white chocolate, but they wouldn’t be as pretty with milk, right? Oh well 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
they would still taste fantastic!
Kelli says
I was thinking the same thing I wonde if it would be ok with milk chocolate the kids aren’t big fans of white choc What do you think won’t look as nice either?
Savvy says
Love those cookies and love winter park!! I’m home in Daytona for a whole month this Dec-Jan – we should have a blogger meetup in Winter Park!!
peanutbutterfingers says
that would be so fun!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
When I saw these in my reader I pretty much drooled. What isn’t made 100000 times better by dipping it in chocolate?!
Amy at the scene from me says
Those look incredibly delicious! Great job :). A fun party food for sure!
Hope says
These look so good! My boyfriend is obssessed with Oreo’s much like your hubby! He cannot get enough of them. Our pantry is always stocked with Oreo’s. I think he would LOVE these. I must make these 🙂
Jenna says
Those look incredible! I was laughing when you said “don’t be shy!” haha
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
I am definitely an oreo lover 🙂 I recently made oreo balls and they took forever — these look much easier and just as tasty!
Nat says
These cookies are a good idea. My boyfriend looooooooves Oreos. 🙂

Those look so delicious! I’d love to make them myself, but I’m afraid I’d eat them all before the end of the night. yum!!
Sonja says
I originally had a night FULL of baking tonight but I think I might steal this and replace my brownies with it! LOL they look yummy and not time consuming at all!! yay!!
Sarra says

Chicago Cuisine Critique says
Yum, these look awesome.
Meaghan says
Cute! I’ve done chocolate dipped oreos before but never holiday ones, love it! You should make homemade oreos for your hubs. They are kinda time consuming to make, but they’re a fun treat to make for an Oreo lover!
marlo-PNW girl says
*DROOOOOOL*
Charlie says
I’m definitely an oreo lover! If I buy a box, it’s gone in two days! Love this idea!

Clare @ Fitting It All In says
I love that you provide such simple but adorable holiday treats to bake! I’ve already done the pretzels, and now I have to make these too!! But for me, a dark chocolate version:)
Rowdy says
thanks 4 this idea…it’s supoose to snow here this weekend (it’s actually snowing right now!…LOL!) so maybe my daughter & I will make this since we will be stuck indoors! I like how simple, easy, & quick this is! I think we will string Fruit Loops too for the Christmas garland! Thanks again!! Have a great holiday!
Danielle says
I just made these and they were super easy and turned out fantabulous!!! Bringing them into work tomorrow to share with coworkers. Thanks for the idea Julie!!!
Julianne says
These looked soo delicious I HAD to make them for my Christmas gatherings. I can’t believe it took me FOUR stores to track down a bag of white chocolate chips!! This must be a hot item this season. I dipped mine in sprinkles, crushed mint chocolate candy canes, and coconut. The coconut ones are soo delicious and they look kind of wintery and festive!
