Ingredients for Sant’s Toy Bag Oreos
- 12–16 Oreo cookies
- 10 oz red melting chocolate wafers
- 10 oz white melting chocolate wafers
- ½ cup teddy grahams
- 1 tbsp Mini M&M’s
- 1 tbsp assorted Christmas sprinkles (such as candy canes, gingerbread men, or your favorites)
- 1 tbsp white sanding sugar
Step-by-Step Instructions with Pictures
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the red melting wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip each Oreo about ¾ of the way into the red melted chocolate.
Place the dipped Oreo on the prepared baking sheet and let it harden completely.
Melt the white chocolate using the same method.
Dip the opposite side of each Oreo into the melted white chocolate where it meets the red.
Before the chocolate sets, press in mini M&M’s, Christmas sprinkles, and teddy grahams (break some to fit) to look like toys spilling out of Santa’s bag.
Drizzle a thin line of white chocolate where the red and white meet.
Then, add two vertical line decorations to create the look of bag strings. Sprinkle white sanding sugar over the white section for a snowy effect.
Allow cookies to harden completely in the lined baking sheet before serving.
Tips for Making the Best Oreo Christmas Cookies
- Use Fresh Chocolate: Old or grainy melting wafers can create a lumpy coating.
- Work Quickly: Chocolate sets fast, so have toppings ready before dipping.
- Mix and Match Festive Sprinkles: Variety adds visual interest and festive flair.
Serving Ideas
- Holiday Dessert Table: Pair these easy Christmas cookies with brownies, cupcakes, or peppermint bark for a festive spread.
- Christmas Gift Treats: Wrap in cellophane bags tied with ribbons for a sweet homemade gift.
- Stocking Stuffers: These easy Christmas Oreos are delightful surprises in stockings.
- Party Platter Fun: Arrange on a cookie tray alongside other festive holiday Oreos for a playful centerpiece.
Recipe Variations to Try
- Nutty Twist: Press crushed candy canes or chopped nuts into the chocolate before it sets.
- Extra Sparkle: Add edible glitter or shimmer dust for an eye-catching finish.
- Candy Overload: Swap Teddy Grahams for small gummy candies or marshmallows for a fun twist.
Storage Tips
- Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Avoid Refrigeration: Cold can cause chocolate to bloom and lose its shine.
- No Freezing: The chocolate and toppings may crack or separate if frozen.
