Fancy(ish) Chocolate Covered Oreos

I set out to create a smorgasbord of chocolate covered goodies! Unfortunately (or fortunately for our waistlines) I nix-ed the pretzels and stuck to the Oreos. Pictures are scarce for this instructional since my hands were covered in melted chocolate during 99% of the process, but I'll be sure to include all the steps!

Ingredients!
Oreos - Assorted Holiday Sprinkles - White Chocolate Chips - Dark Chocolate Mint Chips - Toothpicks - Candy/Cookie Mold - Wax Paper

*For the Dark Chocolate/White Chocolate Swirl Oreos
1. Melt dark chocolate in microwave using a bowl that allows room for dipping the cookies.
2. Melt  a small amount of white chocolate in the microwave. You only need a drop or two per cookie. 
3. Dip 4 cookies in the dark chocolate and place on wax paper. 
4. Drizzle a small amount of white chocolate on the dipped cookies.
5. Using a toothpick, swirl chocolates together to create fun patterns!
6. Repeat!
7. Cool in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes!

*Dark Chocolate Mint Sprinkle Oreos
1. Dip Oreos in melted chocolate. 
2. Place on wax paper.
3. Immediately top with desired amount of sprinkles!
4. Cool in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes!

*White Chocolate Holiday Oreos
1. Melt 1 bag white chocolate chips in the microwave.
2. Pour a small amount of chocolate into 2 small containers. 
3. Color one container with green food coloring and the other with red.
4. Using a candy/cookie mold, fill in the decoration sections with the desired colors. 
5. Pour white chocolate into mold, just coating the plastic area. 
6. Place 1 cookie in each slot. 
7. Top with remaining chocolate so cookies are completely covered, spinning cookie to coat sides. 
8. Place mold in refrigerator and cool until mold is frosty. 
9. Pop covered cookies out of mold and trim extra chocolate. 
10. Enjoy!
