How to make chocolate covered Oreos

Step 1: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. You can use the microwave in 20–30 second increments, stirring between intervals, or melt over a double boiler.

Step 2: Dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the chocolate firms up.

Step 4: Melt the dark chocolate wafers (or extra chocolate chips), then drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the tops of the chilled Oreos for a decorative finish.

Return the cookies to the refrigerator until the drizzle sets.

If you don’t have melting wafers, regular chocolate chips work fine for drizzling—just melt them slowly and stir until smooth.
