Day 33: Chocolate Covered Mini Oreos (with a $50 Pear Tree Greetings giveaway!)

Day 33: So… these are so good. Really good. I mean, Oreo’s are good just the way they are… but add some chocolate: OMG. It makes these mini Oreo’s addictive! Plus, since they’re bite-size, you don’t really know how many you’re eating until they’re all gone. Ha!

They are also the perfect gift. Put them in a jar and add a label. I used this Tea Time Label, from Pear Tree Greetings. Under “Property of:” I wrote ‘Santa’, crossed that out, and wrote ‘Ruari’. She is a chocolate thief… sooooo….

Ingredients:

Wilton Chocolate Melts

– A bag of Mini Oreos

Optional: Sea Salt

Directions:

– Place a piece of parchment paper or foil down on a baking sheet.

– Follow the melting Directions on the back of your Wilton Chocolate Melts bag. I melted mine in the microwave. As for how much, that’s up to you. I melted 1/3 of the bag of Wilton Chocolate Melts to cover half a bag of Mini Oreos.

– When your chocolate is melted toss an Oreo or two in, cover it in chocolate, pull it out with a pair of tongs and place on the baking sheet to cool. Don’t leave the Oreo’s in the warm chocolate for too long, because they will start to disintegrate.

Optional: While the chocolate on the Oreo’s are still warm, sprinkle on a bit of sea salt. I sprinkled the sea salt on every 10 Oreos or so.

– Put them in a jar, add a cute label… enjoy!

      Hmmm. Well, maybe bring it in a cooler? I don't really think it will melt, unless it's really warm, or you're traveling far.
