How to make these Peppermint Covered Oreos
- You can use gluten free sandwich cookies, regular chocolate Oreo cookies, Vanilla Oreo cookies or mix and match with any flavors you like! The holiday Oreo cookies would add a nice festive touch as well.
- For the chocolate coating, I used white chocolate and coconut oil but you can easily use milk / dark chocolate or choose a festive green if you like. Candy Melts or Almond Bark would work as well. What I love is that either way, there is no candy thermometer involved.
- Use a fork to help you dip the cookies into the melted chocolate and lightly shake off any excess.
- Place the cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet to dry and then quickly sprinkle each cookie with some crushed candy canes so they stick.
