Sabrina’s Mint Chocolate Covered Oreos Recipe

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up soon and I’m already having fun with rainbows and mint flavored desserts including Rainbow Poke Cake, Rainbow Cupcakes and McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes! This is an incredibly easy to make recipe, and the perfect rainy day activity for the kids. They’ll love dipping the cookies in the chocolate, and also decorating them at the end. Plus, they get to hand them out to their friends afterwards! These can also be easily customized for different occasions or holidays by changing the Oreo flavor and color of sprinkles.

Notes from Sabrina

I recommend using chocolate disks over chocolate chips for this recipe because the disks will have a much smoother texture. You can use almond bark if you have it, which is richer in flavor. Additionally, if you’re not comfortable using the microwave, you can use a double boiler to melt the candy on the stovetop and you can always add a drop of coconut oil to thin out the chocolate, so it’s easier to work with.

About this Recipe

Mint Chocolate Covered Oreos are an easy twist on my classic Chocolate Covered Oreos made from mint flavored Oreos, melted chocolate, peppermint extract, and decorative green sprinkles. These only take 4 ingredients, and they’re perfect for St. Patrick’s day! You can also use these ratios for an easy mint version of the super popular Oreo Balls (Oreo Truffles).

Can this be made ahead of time?

Yes, this candy will last about 3 weeks, when stored properly on the counter in an airtight container. You can layer parchment paper between the cookies so they don’t stick together. I don’t recommend freezing chocolate Oreos, because condensation can form on the chocolate when they are defrosting, which does not make for a good presentation.

Ideas to Serve

  • Wrap these peppermint cookies in plastic, then decorate with green ribbons, to give away as gifts for the holidays like St. Patrick’s Day!
  • Serve with hot chocolate or coffee. The cool mint flavor pairs perfectly with rich hot cocoa, peppermint mochas, or a simple cup of coffee after dinner.
  • Use them as an ice cream garnish. Place one or two cookies alongside scoops of mint chocolate chip, vanilla, or chocolate ice cream, or crumble them over sundaes for extra crunch.

Variations

  • Toppings: Decorate the Oreos with a drizzle of white chocolate, caramel sauce, or even sprinkle with nuts like almonds, pecans, or pistachios. You can also add things like coconut flakes or crushed cookies. Make sure you add any topping before the chocolate has completely set, so it will stick to the cookie.
  • Flavors: This recipe uses peppermint extract, but you can try any flavor that you’d like.
  • Lollipop: Add a lollipop stick to the middle of the cookie to make chocolate covered Oreo lollipops! Do this before the chocolate completely hardens so it stays in place.
