How to Make Christmas Oreos

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

12 Oreo cookies
1 cup green candy melts
½ cup white candy melts
12 star sprinkles
1 tsp nonpareils sprinkles

Step by Step Guide

1. First, grab your white and green candy melts. Follow the package instructions and melt the white ones until they’re smooth and creamy in one bowl, then do the same with the green melts in another bowl. You’re about to get creative!

2. Next, it’s time to give your Oreos a “snowy” look. Dip just the bottoms of each Oreo into the white candy melts, coating them nicely. Don’t forget to gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to shake off any excess. Place them on a baking sheet or plate. Trust me, the white bottom makes these cookies look even more like a winter wonderland!

3. Now comes the fun part—creating your trees! Pour the melted green candy melts into a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off works too!). Drizzle the green candy over each Oreo in a zigzag pattern to form the shape of a Christmas tree. Don’t worry about perfection; every tree has its own charm!

4. While the green candy is still soft, place a tiny star sprinkle on the top of each tree. Then, grab your nonpareils and sprinkle them over the trees to give them that perfect “decorated” look. It’s like adding ornaments without the hassle of tangled lights!

5. All that’s left is to let your Christmas Tree Oreos set. Pop them into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to speed things up, and voilà—they’re ready to enjoy! Once they’re firm, carefully lift them off the plate, and you’ve got yourself a batch of holiday magic.

If you somehow manage not to eat them all in one sitting (no judgment if you do!), you can store these cute cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Perfect for gifting, or just for snacking throughout the holiday season!

And there you have it! These Christmas Tree Oreos are perfect for kids to help decorate, making it a fun activity for the whole family. You can also get creative with your decorations—swap the star sprinkles for mini M&M’s or add edible glitter to really make your trees sparkle. The possibilities are endless, and they’ll always taste as festive as they look.

So, go ahead and whip up a batch of these Christmas Tree Oreos for your next holiday gathering. With only 30 minutes of effort, you’ll have a treat that looks like it came from a bakery, but with all the love (and simplicity!) of a homemade dessert. Happy holidays, and enjoy every bite!
