Equipment

Ingredients

1 package Oreo cookies- any flavor variety
16 ounces candy melts red white or blue
1 cup patriotic sprinkles

Instructions

Prep your workspace by laying out parchment or wax paper.
Pour some sprinkles into a small dish or bowl. Set next to the parchment.
Place half of the white OR blue candy melts into a glass 2 cup liquid measuring cup (affiliate).
Microwave the candy melts on defrost for 1 minute and stir.
Microwave 30 seconds. Stir until all lumps are melted.
If you still have chocolate pieces and the mixture is not smooth, microwave 15 additional seconds.
Working quickly, drop one Oreo cookie into the melted chocolate.
Use a fork to turn the cookie once, fully coating in the chocolate.
Carefully lift the cookie out of the melted chocolate. Tap the bottom of the fork on the side of the measuring cup, allowing excess chocolate to fall, 2 to 5 times.
Gently tap the fork onto the parchment allowing the cookie to slide off.
Top with sprinkles immediately.
Repeat with remaining cookies.
Allow the chocolate to set, about 10 minutes, and enjoy!
