Ingredients
  

For the Santa Oreos
  • 12 pieces Oreo cookies Classic chocolate wafers that provide a rich, creamy filling, perfect for our Santa creation.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Melting into a smooth, sweet coating that transforms the Oreos.
  • 1 cup red and green sprinkles Bright and festive, they add a delightful crunch.
  • 12 pieces mini chocolate chips Serve as Santa's expressive eyes.
  • 1/2 cup edible candy eyes (optional) Make your cookies come alive.
  • 12 pieces mini marshmallows Serve as Santa's iconic hat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  2. Dip the Oreo Cookies: Dip each Oreo into the melted white chocolate, making sure it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out and let excess chocolate drip back.
  3. Prepare for Decoration: Lay coated Oreos on a parchment-lined baking sheet, providing enough space between them.
  4. Add the Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, generously apply red and green sprinkles.
  5. Attach Santa's Hat: Press a mini marshmallow onto the top of each Oreo.
  6. Create Santa's Eyes: Use mini chocolate chips or edible candy eyes for his expression.
  7. Design Santa's Beard: Sprinkle coconut flakes around the bottom of the marshmallow.
  8. Let It Set: Allow chocolate to set, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Serve Delightfully: Arrange finished Santa Oreos on a festive platter.

Notes

Ensure not to overheat the white chocolate, apply decorations while the chocolate is wet, and allow proper cooling time for best results. These cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings and kids can help with the decorations!
