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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Serve and enjoy: Once the coating is firm, your peanut butter dipped Oreos are ready to serve!

FAQ

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
