Melt the White Chocolate
Place the white melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and ready for dipping.
Dip the Oreos
Take one Oreo at a time and dip it fully into the melted white chocolate. Use a fork to flip it, ensuring the cookie is fully coated.
Lift the Oreo, letting any excess chocolate drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Add Sprinkles and Reese’s Minis
While the chocolate is still soft, press the larger end of a mini Reese’s cup at the top of the Oreo to resemble an ornament hook.
Then, sprinkle Christmas sprinkles over each Oreo or arrange them into a design of your choice.
Set in the Freezer
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely before serving. This quick freeze also keeps the Reese’s Minis firmly in place.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Smooth Coating: Melt chocolate in short intervals, stirring often, to prevent lumps.
- Use a Fork for Dipping: Using a fork to lift each Oreo helps coat evenly and reduces mess.
- Add Sprinkles Right Away: Decorate with sprinkles immediately after dipping, as the chocolate sets quickly.
- Freeze for Stability: A quick freeze keeps the Reese’s Minis and chocolate coating firm.
- Wax Paper Works Too: No parchment paper? Wax paper is a good alternative for non-stick convenience.
- Reheat if Needed: If the chocolate thickens while dipping, reheat it for 10 seconds in the microwave.
- Get Creative with Sprinkles: Use a mix of holiday-themed sprinkles to make each cookie unique and festive.
