Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos

My grandma used to have a saying…

“I’m busier than a cat trying to cover poop

on a marble floor.”

That’s me these past few weeks.

I have a feeling everyone reading this may very well be 

the same way.  ‘Tis the season. 

So I decided to share one of my favorite

easy cookie “recipes.”  

{calling it a recipe is a stretch}

All you “busy girls” out there will appreciate this.

It’s no bake. No mess. No fuss. 

Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos

I am taking part in 

The Everyday Home’s 2015 Cookie Exchange.

This is an open Party where bloggers are invited to share some

of their favorite cookie recipes.

You can also find hundreds of cookie recipes on my 

Pinterest Board – Christmas Cookie Exchange.

Things are wrapping up here at The Everyday Home.

The pace is slowing, for which I am grateful.

This weekend will be the official 

“Grammy’s Great Christmas Baking Weekend.”

{think flour and sprinkles on every surface and all over three little ones.}

But for today – I wanted to share something that

even those who are baking challenged could master. 

Or, time-challenged, as most of us are. 

If you can melt chocolate, you are already at expert level 

when it comes to this recipe.  I use Wilton Baking Melts

because I think they offer the smoothest of textures.

I chose to use the Double-Stuff Oreos so I would have

a thicker cookie.  Just roll the cookie in the melted chocolate…

… then place the chocolate-covered cookies on a baking sheet.

You can cover the pan with parchment or foil if you wish.

I created two chocolate-covered varieties and two

white chocolate-covered varieties.

Chocolate with Coconut

 

Chocolate with Peppermint

 

White Chocolate with Sprinkles

 

and finally…

White Chocolate with Peppermint

I used *Wilton’s Peppermint Crunch.

Yes, you can crush your own peppermints, but this was soooo easy. 

I also used *Wilton’s 6-Color Sprinkles  

Make sure you apply the sprinkles or crushed peppermint to

the cookies while the chocolate is still soft. 

I created two packages worth of Chocolate Covered Oreos and

packaged them in these *cute and festive boxes for

gifts for neighbors. 

So who says a busy girl can’t still pull off some

pretty amazing looking recipes and projects?

Did you happen to catch my

“Busy Girls Easy 3-Step Christmas Wreath?”

Now if you really feel guilty about all the effort you saved by

not actually baking – by all means –  throw some flour on your

face, toss around some sprinkles in the kitchen – even smear

some chocolate on your shirt.  

 

But personally, if it were me – I would turn on Hallmark,

make some coffee, grab a cookie or three – and relax.

‘Cause over in that corner are a gazillion gifts that

still need to be wrapped. 

😀

Thanks for letting me share my recipe for

“Busy Girls’ Chocolate Covered Peppermint Cookies.”
