Ingredients and Substitutions

Depending on which Oreos you want to decorate determines which ingredients you will need. However, we will go over the basic ingredients you’ll need for most of these designs.

• Oreos – For Mr. and Mrs. Claus I used Golden Oreos, but you can use the Cinnamon Bun Oreos or Snickerdoodle Oreos (If you can find them!). You’ll need plain old Oreos too.
• Melting Chocolate – You will need dark chocolate and white chocolate if you’re copying the designs above. You will need to melt all the chocolate ahead of time in a microwave safe bowl. Follow the instructions on the package. If there are no instructions, microwave the chocolate in 30 second increments until it’s completely melted. Some of the chocolate you’ll add food coloring to, so you want to be sure you have enough to split it all up!
• Oil Based Food Coloring – Oil based food coloring is the only kind you should use when you’re coloring chocolate. Water based food coloring can cause the chocolate to seize. I used pink, red, green and blue for this recipe. You can also just buy pink, red, green and blue candy melts instead.
• Sprinkles, Candies, Frosting, and other Toppings – I will list in the instructions of each design what toppings and candies you’ll need.

How To Make Santa Claus Oreos

Ingredients – Golden Oreos, melted white and dark chocolate, pink and red food coloring, M&Ms, white dusting sugar.

1. Begin by filling a piping bag with melted white and dark Belgian chocolate. Using a Golden Oreo, pipe some dark chocolate eyes on the top of the Oreo Cookie. Using the piping bag filled with white chocolate, pipe a long oval-like shape to outline the eyes.
2. Stick an M&M candy on the edge of the outline you just made. This will be for the ball at the end of Santa’s Hat. Pop this Oreo in the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden before moving onto the next step.
3. Grab your bowl of melted white chocolate. Using a fork, dunk the Oreo in the white chocolate so it covers everything around the outline you just made for the eyes. Make sure it covers the M&M as well. Use a spoon to spoon the chocolate on the top if that helps you. Let the excess chocolate drip off and move it to a parchment lined plate.
4. Before the chocolate dries, sprinkle Santa’s beard, pom pom, and the brim of his hat with white sanding sugar. Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes, then use a fork to add some texture to Santa’s beard. Next, using the piping bag filled with white chocolate, add a mustache to Santa’s beard.
5. Using a piping bag filled with white chocolate dyed pink, pipe three circles. Two for his cheeks and one for his nose.
6. Allow the chocolate on this Oreo to set completely. Once it’s dry, dip the top of the Oreo into a bowl filled with melted white chocolate dyed red for the Santa hat.

How To Make Mrs. Claus Oreos

Ingredients – Golden Oreos, melted white and dark chocolate, M&Ms, pink food coloring, white sanding sugar, red ball sprinkles, leaf shaped sprinkles.

1. Begin with a Golden Oreo, and at the top of the Oreo, make an outline of Mrs. Claus’ hair using a piping bag filled with melted white chocolate.
2. To the top of the outline you just made, add an M&M candy. This will represent her hair bun. Allow the cookie chill in the freezer for a few moments to let the outline set.
3. In a medium sized bowl, melt the white chocolate. Using a fork, you’re going to dunk the Mrs. Claus into the white chocolate, but make sure not to cover her face.
4. Cover the entire back of the Oreo and fill in the outline of her hair. Cover the M&M bun as well. Use a small spoon if it helps. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off the cookie, back into the bowl.
5. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle Mrs. Claus’ hair with white sanding sugar.
6. To the corner of her hair underneath her bun, add two leaf shaped sprinkles to represent holly leaves.
7. To the center of the two leaves, add a red ball sprinkle.
8. Using a piping bag filled with melted dark chocolate, pipe two lines for her eyes.
9. Using a piping bag filled with melted white chocolate dyed pink, pipe a line for her smile, and two dots for her cheeks. Allow the Oreos to chill in the freezer until they’re completely set and you’re ready to serve them.

5. Pipe on a face, and arms to the snowman using a piping bag filled with melted dark chocolate. Use an orange sprinkle for the nose.

Equipment – For this recipe you will need piping bags, parchment paper, microwave safe bowls and forks. If you hate working with small ingredients, you can use food tweezers or toothpicks for those small sprinkles.
