Equipment
- 1 Microwave-Safe Bowl For melting chocolate
- 1 Baking Sheet To hold dipped cookies
- 1 Parchment Paper For non-stick surface
- 1 Dipping fork or tool For easy handling of cookies
- 1 Small food-safe brush For applying luster dust
Ingredients
Main
- 16 ounces chocolate candy coating
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies e.g., Oreos
- Gold sprinkles gold pearls, edible gold leaf , and/or gold luster dust , for optional decorations
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare your workspace.
- Place the chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until it is completely smooth and fluid. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Hold one chocolate sandwich cookie by its side and fully submerge it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's completely coated.
- Carefully lift the cookie from the chocolate, gently tapping its edge against the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off, creating an even coating.
- Immediately transfer the dipped cookie onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, generously apply gold sprinkles, gold pearls, or edible gold leaf as your desired decoration.
- Repeat the dipping and decorating process for all remaining chocolate sandwich cookies.
- Allow the chocolate-dipped cookies to set completely at room temperature, or accelerate the process by refrigerating them for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- If using gold luster dust, once the chocolate has fully set, apply it delicately with a small, food-safe brush to enhance the glittery effect.
- Store the finished glittery gold chocolate-dipped Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature until you are ready to serve them.
Notes
For best results, use a high-quality chocolate candy coating as it melts smoothly and sets quickly without tempering. When melting, be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize or burn; microwave in short bursts, stirring well. If using a double boiler, ensure no water gets into the chocolate. Dip cookies one at a time, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing on parchment. Apply sprinkles or gold leaf immediately while chocolate is wet. For luster dust, wait until the chocolate is fully set for a clean application.
