Ingredients
  

  • 20 Oreos
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate or white chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Separate oreos and scrape off the white cream. Line a baking sheet with wax or other nonstick paper.
  • Combine chocolate and peppermint extract in a microwave safe bowl. Heat chocolate until completely melted in 30 second intervals or heat with the help of a double boiler.
  • Place one oreo half at a time into the chocolate and flip over with the help of a fork. Once completely coated, remove cookie half from chocolate with the fork and tap it on the edge of the bowl a couple of times (to get rid of the excess chocolate). Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat. Place in the fridge and let set for 15 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

*Sprinkle thin mints with crushed oreos or chocolate pieces after dipping.
Cookies will keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge or up to 8 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer.
