How to Make Patriotic Oreos
1. Melt Your White Chocolate Magic
Grab your glass measuring cup and toss in your white candy coating.
Pop it in the microwave for 60 seconds. After the timer beeps, give it a little stir with a spoon even if it still looks solid. That first poke just gets things moving.
Next, microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring every time. Usually, after 3–5 rounds, your chocolate will be perfectly melty and smooth. Keep an eye on it!
If it’s looking a little thick, stir in about ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil or melted coconut oil. You want it nice and flowy, like chocolatey lava cascading off your spoon.
2. Fill the Molds
Spoon the melted white chocolate into each cavity of your Oreo mold, filling it about two-thirds full. Then gently press an Oreo into the center of each pool of chocolatey goodness.
If the Oreo isn’t fully covered, no worries just drizzle a little extra melted chocolate over the top.
3. Freeze and Set
Pop the filled mold into the freezer for 10 minutes. That’s it! After 10 minutes, your Patriotic Oreos should be set and ready to pop out like little edible works of art.
4. Time to Decorate!
Here’s where the real fun (and sprinkle chaos) happens.
Melt the red and blue candy melts in separate microwave-safe bags following the same 30-second burst method. Once they’re nice and melty, snip a tiny corner off each bag.
Now drizzle those beautiful colors across the tops of your Oreos however your heart desires. Zigzags, stripes, abstract art there’s no wrong way to do this.
Pro tip: Add your sprinkles immediately while the drizzle is still wet so they stick perfectly!
Some Handy Notes
- Why a glass measuring cup? It’s not just a random suggestion. Glass holds heat better than plastic bowls, so your chocolate stays melty and perfect longer.
- Thin that chocolate: If your candy coating starts looking a little thick, don’t panic. Stir in a tiny bit of vegetable or coconut oil until it flows like a dream again.
