Ingredients
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (standard size)
- 12 oz of chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips (for the clock face)
- Edible food markers or colored icing for decorating the clock face
- Optional: Edible glitter or confetti for extra decoration
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Cookies
Start by laying out your Oreo cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Make sure each cookie is easily accessible for dipping.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your choice of chocolate (dark, milk, or white) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If using white chocolate chips for the clock face, melt them separately.
Step 3: Dip the Oreo Cookies
Dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely covered. You can use a fork to gently lift the cookies out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place each dipped cookie back onto the parchment paper to set.
Step 4: Make the Clock Face
Once the chocolate coating has set, take your melted white chocolate and carefully spoon a small amount onto the center of each Oreo to form the clock face. Use edible food markers or colored icing to draw the clock numbers and hands. Be creative! You can make the clock face as detailed as you like.
Step 5: Let the Cookies Set
Allow the cookies to cool completely. If you want to add extra sparkle, lightly sprinkle edible glitter or confetti on top for that celebratory New Year’s vibe.
Cook and Prep Times
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Set Time: 30-45 minutes (depends on room temperature and chocolate cooling)
- Total Time: 1 hour
Baking Pro Tips
- Use a Deep Bowl for Dipping: If you want an even chocolate coating, make sure your dipping bowl is deep enough to submerge the entire Oreo without spilling chocolate.
- Chill the Cookies: To speed up the setting process, you can place the dipped cookies in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Personalize Your Designs: Use different colored icings or edible markers to make the clock faces as intricate as you’d like. This is a great chance to get the kids involved!
- Avoid Overheating the Chocolate: Always melt chocolate in short bursts to prevent it from burning. Stirring often ensures it stays smooth and easy to work with.
These chocolate-covered Oreo cookie clocks are the perfect way to bring a little extra sweetness to your New Year’s Eve celebration. Not only are they a visually impressive treat, but they also taste absolutely divine. Whether you’re hosting a party or looking for a fun family activity, these cookies will surely be a hit.
