HOW TO MAKE

1. Melt your white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals. Now, here comes the fun part—dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Can use a typical dinner fork to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
2. While the chocolate is still gooey and inviting, shower your Oreo creations with festive sprinkles and top them with mini reese’s peanut butter cups. Get creative—stripes, polka dots, or even a sprinkle snowfall!
3. Allow your chocolate-coated Oreo ornaments to set completely. Enjoy them immediately or turn your sweet treats into hangable masterpieces.
4. Hang your Oreo Christmas Ornaments on your tree with care.
