Ingredients
- Base: Oreo cookies (regular, Double Stuf, or Golden), green candy melts or white candy melts with gel food coloring, vegetable oil for thinning
- Decorations: green sanding sugar, sprinkles, shamrock confetti, edible gold, nonpareils, Irish flag colors
- Optional: white candy melts for shamrock designs, mint extract, Irish cream flavoring
Instructions
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt green candy melts in microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Add oil if needed for thinner consistency. Using fork, dip each Oreo in melted chocolate, coating completely. Tap fork on bowl edge to remove excess. Transfer to parchment paper. Immediately add decorations while chocolate is wet. For shamrock designs, pipe with contrasting chocolate. Let set at room temperature 30-60 minutes until firm.
Notes
Use candy melts, not chocolate chips, for best results. If using white chocolate, tint with gel food coloring only. Room temperature cookies coat best. Decorate immediately before chocolate sets. Set at room temperature for best shine—avoid refrigerating. Store in airtight container up to 2 weeks. Can be made 1-2 weeks ahead. Check labels for nut allergies if making for schools.
