Are you looking for a sweet and easy treat for giving (or eating) this season?

Here’s a fun idea for you that comes from my lovely sister-in-law Jen:

Yes, I know.  They are store bought cookies.  But they aren’t going to stay plain old Oreos, even if they are mint.  (You can use regular Oreos, but Cool Mint is festive and my personal favorite for flavor.)

Oh yah baby, we are dipping those Oreos in chocolate.

Choose a chocolate for dipping to get the best results.  We used A’peels, which is an easy to work with dipping chocolate from Guittard.  Any wafer chocolate suitable for dipping will work.  The chocolate was melted carefully in the microwave.  The microwave is a fast way to melt the chocolate, but only set 30 seconds or less at a time and stir.  You don’t want to overheat your chocolate in the microwave.

Lay them out to cool on parchment or wax paper.  But first, while the little dippers are still wet, give them a festive look with a few sprinkles.

Here’s few in milk chocolate too.  Yum, I think these are my favorite.

It doesn’t take long for them to cool and harden.  Then they are easy to toss in a bag and give them away… but not before you eat a few of course.

They are simply delightful, fast and festive.
