Ingredients

1 12 oz bag white candy melts
1 12 oz bag red candy melts
18 Oreo Cookies
10 Peppermint Candies Round or Candy Canes
2-4 teaspoons vegetable oil as needed

Instructions

Add white candy melts to microwave safe bowl. Use the defrost setting and melt for 1 min. Remove bowl and stir. Continue to melt using the defrost setting in 30 second increments stirring after each time until chocolate is smooth, thin and glossy.*
Place approximately 1 Tbsp of melted chocolate into each mold and use the back of a spoon to coat the sides.
After all sides are coated in each mold, pick up mold and tap on the surface until chocolate mixture runs down the sides and fully coats the bottom. This may take 15 - 20 taps on the surface. If needed, add additional chocolate so the bottom is coated.
Repeat steps 1-3 for red candy melts.
Place molds in the refrigerator to harden for 5 minutes.
Remove molds and place oreo in the middle of each cup.
Place approximately 1 Tbsp of chocolate on each oreo and use the spoon to push the chocolate over the edges of the cookie.
Pick up the mold and tap again until the chocolate appears to have coated the space between the cookie and the sides of the mold.
Place approximately 1 Tbsp on top of the cookie to add the final layer. Use a spoon to smooth out the top.**
Tap the mold on the surface again to work out any air bubbles.
Place back in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Place peppermint candies into a ziploc bag. Smash into tiny pieces.
Remove cookies from each mold.***
Re-melt white and red chocolate and drizzle white chocolate on red cookies and red chocolate on white cookies.
Sprinkle crushed peppermint on top of chocolate.

Notes

*If chocolate seems thick you can add 2 tsp of vegetable oil to create a thinner consistency. Do not add water to thin out chocolate mixture.

**If you want a thick layer of chocolate surrounding the oreo, fill chocolate to the top of the mold. If you want a thinner layer, add less chocolate on top of the cookie.
***If the outside of the cookie bottom isn't completely even, brush the outside cookie edge along the palm of your hand to break off any excess chocolate.
