Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Bites Recipe – Learn under Expert Guide
You can spread holiday cheer and indulge in the spirit of the season with these Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Bites, which are a delicious mix of crunchy, creamy, and minty goodness. Come with us as we figure out how to make these sweet treats that you can’t stop eating.
Ingredients
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (regular or mint-flavored)
- 1 package (12 oz) of white chocolate chips or candy melts
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies, for garnish
Instructions
Place baking mats or parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet. Put the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse them a few times to make them very small.
You could also put the cookies in a plastic bag that can be closed again and use a rolling pin to crush them.
Melt the candy melts or white chocolate chips in 30 second increments in a bowl that can go in the microwave. Stir between each increment until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add the peppermint extract and stir it in once the chocolate is melted. Melt the chocolate. Add the crushed Oreo cookies and stir them around until they are all covered.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, make small bite-sized clusters of the chocolate-covered Oreos on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
Add crushed candy canes or peppermint candies to the top of each cluster while the chocolate is still soft for a holiday touch.
Putting the baking sheet in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes should be enough time for the chocolate to set completely.
The Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Bites should be taken out of the fridge and put on a serving platter once they are set.
You can enjoy these tasty treats with family and friends, or you can put them in pretty containers and give them as homemade gifts.
Tips for RecipeÂ
You can use Oreo cookies that taste like mint or add more peppermint extract to the melted chocolate to make the mint flavor stronger. You should be careful not to make the chocolate too sweet, though.
Place the candy canes or peppermint candies in a plastic bag that can be closed again and use a rolling pin to break them up into small pieces. You could also use a food processor, which would work faster.
Make sure all of your bowls and utensils are completely dry before you start melting the chocolate. If they are wet, the chocolate will get lumpy.
To make your Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Bites unique, try adding different toppings. For extra flair, you can sprinkle crushed nuts, drizzle melted dark chocolate, or add holiday sprinkles.
Notes
You can keep any extra Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Bites in the fridge for up to a week in a container that won’t let air in. For the best texture and taste, let them sit out at room temperature before you serve them.
You are welcome to be creative with how you serve these treats. For a cute holiday gift, put them on a pretty platter, sprinkle edible glitter on top of them, or put them in festive boxes with ribbon tied around the top.
