Step by Step guide
Rainbow
1. The simplest version of these cookies features a rainbow design. Select two sets of four Skittles in different colors. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler.
2. Use a teaspoon to spread the melted chocolate over the cookies. While the chocolate is still warm, arrange the Skittles in a rainbow shape.
3. Decorate the edges with white sprinkles and confetti to resemble clouds. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
Pot of gold
4. Melt the dark chocolate.
5. Separate the Oreo cookies, keeping the filling intact. Dip rainbow candy in melted chocolate and place it on top of the filling.
6. Cover with the second half of the cookie. Coat the Oreos completely in the dark chocolate.

Leprechaun
8. Start by cutting green ribbon-shaped pieces for the leprechaun hats. Test the fit on the cookies and trim them as needed with scissors.
9. Each cookie will require two rectangular pieces. Use the first cutouts as templates to make additional copies.
10. Tint the melted white chocolate with a light pink food color. Spread it over the Oreos, then position the hat pieces on top.
11. Add chocolate chips for eyes and a small red candy bead for the nose.
12. Create a beard using orange candy balls. Chill the decorated cookies in the refrigerator until the chocolate is fully set.
Recipe FAQ
Q: Can I use different types of Oreos for this recipe?
A: Yes! You can use classic, golden, or even double-stuffed Oreos for variety.
Q: What’s the best way to melt the chocolate?
A: The easiest method is using a double boiler, but you can also microwave it in short 15-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
Q: Can I make these in advance?
A: Absolutely! These decorated Oreos can be made a day or two ahead and stored in an airtight container.
Q: How do I prevent the chocolate from becoming too thick?
A: If the melted chocolate is too thick, add a tiny bit of vegetable oil or coconut oil to thin it out.
Q: Do I have to refrigerate the cookies after decorating?
A: Chilling helps the chocolate set faster, but if you’re not short on time, you can let them set at room temperature.
Q: Can I use gel food coloring instead of liquid?
A: Yes! Gel food coloring works well and gives vibrant colors without making the chocolate too runny.
Q: What’s the best way to store these cookies?
A: Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge if you prefer them chilled.
Q: Can I freeze these cookies?
A: It’s not recommended, as freezing can cause the chocolate to develop condensation when thawed, affecting the texture.
Q: What other decorations can I use?
A: Try gold sprinkles, shamrock-shaped candies, or even green sanding sugar for extra festive flair.
Q: Can I use candy melts instead of chocolate?
A: Yes! Candy melts come in different colors and are easy to work with, making them a great alternative to white and dark chocolate.
