Description
These Grinch Oreos combine the delightful flavor of red velvet cookies with melted light green candy. Easy to make, they provide a festive treat perfect for celebrations or just satisfying your sweet tooth at home.
Ingredients
- light green candy melts – 10 ounces
- red velvet oreos – 12.2 ounces
- red heart sprinkles – 24 pieces
- dark green sanding sugar – 1 tablespoon (optional)
Instructions
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Reserve ½ cup of light green candy melt pieces for the final drizzle.
- Melt the remaining candy melts in a double boiler over low heat, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, use the microwave in 30-second intervals.
- Use a fork to dip one Red Velvet Oreo cookie into the melted chocolate. Lift it out and gently tap the fork against the edge of the bowl to remove the excess coating.
- Place the dipped cookie on the prepared tray and repeat with the remaining Oreos.
- Place the reserved ½ cup of candy melts into a microwave-safe piping bag. Melt on low power, massaging the bag every 60 seconds.
- Snip a small piece of the tip off the piping bag. Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped Oreos in a zig-zag pattern.
- Immediately top each cookie with a red heart sprinkle and optional green sanding sugar.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.
Notes
Make sure to tap off excess chocolate before placing Oreos on the tray to avoid puddles.
If chocolate hardens in the piping bag, return it to the microwave for a few seconds to soften it again.
