Quick and Easy White Chocolate Covered Oreos
White chocolate covered oreos are a classic, and I even make them a little holly jolly this time of year by turning them into cute chocolate covered Christmas Oreos.

This recipe for white chocolate dipped Oreos takes only a few minutes to prepare yet they are so impressive when they’re done.
Recipe Ingredients
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Oreo cookies. I used regular Oreos, but you can use any flavor you like! There are so many options to choose from nowadays but the classic cookie with cream filling is still my favorite.
- Chocolate melting wafers. These wafers are designed to melt easily and smoothly. You can find them in the baking aisle of a lot of grocery stores and they’re also available in many bulk stores or online.
- Decorations (optional). You don’t have to decorate your cookies, but if you do, sprinkles are always fun and they make a great addition. You can also melt some additional candy melting wafers to drizzle over the coating once it sets.
Variations
These white chocolate covered Oreos are not only super easy to make, but they’re also simple to customize! Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Use milk or dark candy melts depending on flavor preference.
- Place the remaining chocolate in a zip-top bag or melt some more. Snip the tip of the bag and then drizzle the chocolate across the top.
- Make them with a different flavor of Oreos.
- Decorate them with colored sprinkles, pastels for Easter, green for St. Patrick’s day, pink and red for Valentine’s Day!
- Add crushed candy canes as we did with these peppermint Oreo balls.
- Sprinkle the top with crushed Oreo crumbs or nuts.
- Place each cookie on a lollypop stick, similar to these Oreo cake pops, before dipping and then wrap in cellophane.
How to Make White Chocolate Covered Oreos
Melting chocolate can be a bit finicky but white candy melts make it easier. Heat wafers in a bowl on 50% power for 1 minute then stir. Continue to heat and stir in 15-second intervals until wafers are melted and smooth. You can also use a double-boiler to melt the wafers slowly on the stovetop.
Place your Oreos flat on a fork and gently lower them into the melted white chocolate. Use your fork to turn them over until they are completely covered.
Slide the white chocolate dipped Oreo on a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper and allow the chocolate coating to cool slightly.
If you’re decorating the tops the white chocolate covered Oreos, add your sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft then allow them to cool completely. The chocolate coating will harden as it cools.
Tips and Variations
- Different chocolate melts. Use milk or dark candy melts for chocolate covered Oreos.
- Flavored Oreos. Make them with a different flavor of Oreos for other holidays, use carrot cake Oreos at Easter or mint creme Oreos at St. Patrick’s Day.
- Decorate. Place remaining chocolate in a zip-top bag. Snip the tip of the bag and then drizzle chocolate across the top. Decorate them with colored sprinkles, pastels for Easter, green for St. Patrick’s day, pink and red for Valentine’s Day!
- Crushed crumbs. Add crushed candy canes as we did with these peppermint Oreo balls or sprinkle the top with crushed Oreo crumbs or nuts.
- Gifting. Place each cookie on a lollypop stick, similar to these Oreo cake pops, before dipping and then wrap in cellophane.
- If the chocolate begins to harden. Pop it back into the microwave for 15 seconds and stir it.
- Let excess chocolate run off. Before placing it on the baking sheet. This will help prevent it from pooling at the bottom of the Oreo. If you do get some pooling, draw a circle around the base with a toothpick to get a clean circle.
- Don’t forget to line your baking sheet. Parchment paper or wax paper will help to make clean-up a breeze!

Recipe FAQs
Sometimes when my kitchen is too warm, the candy melts take a while to set. Pop the cookies into the fridge to help speed up the hardening process.
Yes you can, but white chocolate can be tricky to melt. Overheating it can cause the chocolate to turn grainy and ‘seize’ which looks like a hard, clumpy mess.
Melting wafers are designed for melting, which means they don’t hold their shape when heated and will melt evenly and smoothly.
Same as white chocolate chips, almond bark is a bit trickier to melt. Use a double boiler for best results.
Absolutely! The chocolate dipped cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks, so you can make them ahead and have them ready to serve whenever you need them!
