Tutorial Tuesday: Chocolate Covered Oreos

I recently made these beauties for a bake sale fund raiser... and they sure turned out beautifully!

Ingredients: Oreos, self hardening chocolate, sprinkles, mini Ziploc's (to keep them fresh!) and sucker sticks.

Take a cookie and 'gingerly' slide a stick inside.

Sliding the stick inside with loosen the cookie halves apart with breaking the cookies. While you are opening your cookies, place you self hardening chocolate either in a double boiler or into the microwave.... I prefer the microwave. If you choose to microwave, melt your chocolate pieces 30 seconds at a time, stirring well. Also, it is important that NO water ever get inside your bowl of chocolate!

After you've dolloped a little bit of chocolate in between the cookies, add the stick, and gently squish together!

Now for the fun part!

Spoon your melted chocolate over the cookie, it is really helpful to keep your chocolate hot, for the best coating! If you feel like your chocolate has begun to cool, and it doesn't drizzle over (and run off of) the cookie well anymore... reheat!

Make sure to coat all of the cookie, sometimes air pockets can form along the rim of the sandwich (does it sound healthier if I call it a "sandwich?" I didn't think so!)!

Sprinkle with a few colorful sprinkles...

Rinse and repeat... and then WOW those who are lucky enough to enjoy these with you! YUM!
