Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for dipping mixture)
- Assorted candies or sprinkles for topping (like Reese’s Pieces, mini M&Ms, or crushed peanuts)
Instructions
- Fill the Oreos: Twist apart each Oreo cookie and spread about 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter on one side. Place the other half back on top, pressing gently to seal. Repeat with all of the Oreos.
- Melt the dipping mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat—white chocolate can burn easily.
- Dip the Oreos: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter-filled Oreo into the white chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess drip off, then place the dipped Oreo onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Decorate: While the coating is still wet, top each dipped Oreo with your choice of candies or sprinkles. You can add Reese’s Pieces, mini M&Ms, or crushed peanuts for an extra pop of flavor and texture.
- Set the cookies: Allow the dipped Oreos to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the coating is firm, your peanut butter dipped Oreos are ready to serve!

FAQ
- Can I use flavored Oreos? Absolutely! You can use any flavor of Oreo you like—chocolate, golden, mint, or even seasonal flavors work well with this recipe.
- What if my white chocolate seizes up? If the white chocolate becomes too thick or seizes, you can add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil and stir until smooth. This will help achieve a smooth consistency for dipping.
- How do I keep the peanut butter from spilling out? Make sure not to overfill the Oreos with peanut butter. A thin layer is all you need to keep the halves together and create a perfect balance of flavors.
- Can I make these vegan? Yes! Use dairy-free white chocolate and a vegan version of Oreos, as well as a plant-based peanut butter. Be sure that all candies used for topping are also vegan-friendly.
- Can I use different nut butters? Yes! You can use almond butter, cashew butter, or even a flavored nut butter like chocolate hazelnut for a fun twist.
