What Makes This Recipe Unique?

While chocolate-dipped Oreos are a classic treat, the addition of the mini Oreo “ears” is what takes this recipe from simple to spectacular! Creating that iconic Mickey silhouette is easier than you might think, making them a super fun project that will impress your friends and family. The use of candy melts allows for vibrant colors, giving you even more creative options!

Ingredient List

• 1 package of regular Oreos
• 1 package of mini Oreos
• 12 oz package of chocolate candy melts (or your preferred flavor and color) – Candy melts are used here because they harden smoothly and evenly, perfect for dipping and creating a polished finish
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother candy melts) – A small amount of shortening helps to thin the melted candy melts, making them easier to work with and creating a smoother coating.
• Sprinkles and other toppings (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the dipped Oreos from sticking.
2. Melt the candy melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add vegetable shortening and stir until well combined.
3. Dip the Oreos: Dip each regular Oreo completely into the melted candy, using a fork to remove any excess chocolate. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Attach the ears: While the chocolate is still soft, carefully press two mini Oreos on the top of each large Oreo to create the “ears”.
5. Add toppings (optional): If using sprinkles or other toppings, add them now before the chocolate sets.
6. Let them set: Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Optional Toppings/Variations

Get creative with your Mickey Mouse Oreos! Here are some fun ideas to try:

• Use different colored candy melts, like red, yellow, or blue.
• Add edible glitter for a sparkly touch.
• Drizzle contrasting colored candy melts over the dipped Oreos.
• Add a touch of white chocolate for Mickey’s buttons
• Use crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut flakes

Expert Tips

• Don’t overheat the candy melts: Melt in short intervals to avoid burning.
• Use a fork: A fork allows excess chocolate to drip off easily, ensuring a smooth coating.
• Work quickly: The ears need to be attached while the chocolate is still soft.
• Refrigerate to set: If you’re in a hurry, a short stint in the fridge will help the chocolate harden faster.
• Practice makes perfect: Don’t worry if the first few aren’t perfect. You’ll get the hang of it quickly!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Can I use regular chocolate instead of candy melts? While you can, candy melts are preferred for their smooth texture and ease of use. Regular chocolate can be a bit more temperamental, but can be done with some care and tempering.
• How do I store these Mickey Oreos? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, these are great to make a day or two in advance.
• Can I use any flavor of Oreo? Absolutely! Try using different flavors to customize them even more, golden oreos are also delicious!
• What if my candy melts are too thick? Add a very small amount of vegetable shortening (or coconut oil) and stir until smooth.

Variations and Customization Options

The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility!

• Minnie Mouse Oreos: Add a small edible bow to the top of the Oreo, before the chocolate sets, for a Minnie Mouse twist!
• Holiday Themes: Change the candy melt colors and sprinkles to match any holiday (e.g., red and green for Christmas, pastel for Easter)
• Character Oreos: Get creative with other characters by adding different edible details.
• Dipped and Drizzled: Dip the Oreos in one color and then drizzle with another for a two-toned effect.
