Dipping and Gifting, Day (2)

The Oreo cookie is the lucky item that goes for a swim in chocolate today.  Who ever thought that you can improve an Oreo cookie. Well it can be done and done beautifully and easily. This dipping project requires melting chocolates and Oreos.  of course you may choose to decorate as you please.  I used sprinkles, sparkly candy sugar and a sheet of candy transfers I had laying around. Creativity is the name of the game here. You may add some mint flavoring to the chocolate to create the likeness of those famous girl scout mint cookies. Peppermint flavoring gives a special kick to the white chocolate dipped Oreos. I know for a fact that people love these and often exclaim, "Oh its an Oreo." Children love the Oreo on a stick.  These pictures are not instructional, I just wanted to share ( gotta take some photography lessons).

 After the chocolate has melted according to the instructions on the package, begin dipping the Oreo in the chocolate. I use a fork. Submerge the cookie into the chocolate. When removing the cookie allow excess chocolate to drip off into the bowl, then slide the back of the fork against the side of the bowl when removing the cookie to scrape off more excess chocolate. Place the dipped chocolate on parchment paper to dry.  AT this point you may add your decorations or leave as is.

Three simple items
