4th of July Oreos

With the the new fireworks Oreos I thought it would be fun to make festive chocolate covered Oreo cookies for the Summer. The 4th of July Oreos have red, white and blue and it’s so patriotic and perfect for a celebration.

If you are hosting a cookout, party or just hanging out with family, try making Red white and blue chocolate covered oreos. The milk chocolate coating is so yummy.

This dessert is so simple yet looks amazing and one of our favorite 4th of July Cookies! Everyone loves Oreos and all the extra chocolate coating make them even more yummy! Red white and blue desserts are so fun to make. You may also love this Red White & Blue Charcuterie Board or these Patriotic Oreo Truffles.

Why You’ll Love 4th of July Oreos

I don’t know about you but when it comes to Independence day my family has to eat all things red, white, and blue. This is especially true about no bake desserts. These cookies would also be perfect for Memorial Day! Check out more Memorial Day Desserts.

When it comes to making desserts, especially when we are hosting a get together, I like desserts that have simple ingredients. This recipe only requires a few ingredients and the perfect dessert to make at the last minute.  

Ingredients

• Fireworks Oreo Sandwich Cookies – If you can’t find these Oreos, use any type of Oreos.
• Red Candy Melts and Royal Blue Candy Melts – You can also melt white chocolate chips or white melting wafers and add in food coloring.
• Red, White and Blue Sprinkles – Top with your favorite sprinkles

How to Make 4th of July Chocolate Covered Oreos

• Step 1 – Prepare your area – Place wax paper onto a flat surface, preferably a cutting board or baking sheet. Clear a space for this cutting board or baking sheet in your refrigerator.

Step 2 – Add Candy Melts to Bags – Place 15 red candy melts into a sealable sandwich bag, but do not seal. Place 15 blue candy melts in a sealable sandwich bag, but do not seal. Set both bags aside.

Step 3 – Melt Blue Candy – Place the remaining blue candy melts into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Plunge a Fireworks Oreo cookie into the melted chocolate and cover the Oreo. Remove excess chocolate.

Step 4 – Place Cookie on Parchment Paper – Flip the cookie over with a fork and gently lift out of the bowl, wiping excess on the edge. Place cookie onto prepared cutting board or baking tray. I like to put down parchment paper first. Repeat until you have half of the cookies coated. Refrigerate to Set.

Step 5 – Melt the reserved candy melts – Place the sandwich bag of red candy melts into the microwave. Heat for 45 seconds, checking every 15 seconds and kneading until melted. Snip the end of the bag or use a small piping bag and drizzle the candy onto the blue cookies and sprinkle with red, white, and blue sprinkles.

Recipe Tips

• Taking Apart Oreo – If you are adding a stick to the Oreo, we recommend being very careful taking the Oreo apart. Oreos break easily so we try to be as gentle as possible.
• Use Parchment Paper – To prevent the Oreo’s from sticking to the surface, make sure you line your surface with parchment paper.
• Refrigerate Oreos – To make sure the chocolate sets on the Oreo, place in the refrigerator.

Variation Ideas

• Change the Cookie – Any type of store bought Oreo will work. We have used vanilla or chocolate peanut butter Oreo. You can even use double stuffed Oreo.
• Add a Stick in the Oreo – You can easily add in a stick to the Oreo. It would resemble a cake ball.
• Change the Candy Melts – These colors we used are perfect for the patriotic holidays. But you can use different colors for the holiday you are celebrating. Check out this Chocolate Covered Christmas Oreos.
• Use Different Sprinkles – My kids love to add the sprinkles to these chocolate covered Oreos. We like to use sprinkles that match the holiday we are celebrating.
