Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 24 pieces Oreo cookies Any variety; regular stuffed works best
- 24 oz white candy melts Or white almond bark
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil Optional, to thin melts; vegetable shortening also works
- 24 pieces dark chocolate melting wafers For the paw pad; brown candy-coated chocolates also work
- 96 pieces semisweet chocolate chips For toes; about 4 per paw
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set Oreos, chocolate wafers, and chocolate chips within easy reach.
- Melt white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl at 50 percent power in 0.5 minute bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in coconut oil to reach a thin, pourable consistency.
- Using a fork, dip each Oreo into the melted coating, tap off excess on the bowl’s edge, and place on the parchment.
- Immediately press 1 dark chocolate melting wafer near the bottom center of each coated Oreo to form the paw pad.
- Add 4 chocolate chips in an arc above the pad to create the toes, points facing outward.
- Let set at room temperature 0.5 hour or refrigerate 0.25 hour until firm. Serve or store.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
Notes
Tip: If the coating gets too thick while dipping, rewarm it in short bursts and stir well. For extra snowy texture, sprinkle a pinch of shredded coconut over the wet coating. To make ahead, dip and decorate, then freeze on a tray until solid and transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator to avoid condensation.
