The Candy Cane Oreo
So quick. So easy. So elegant.
This is the perfect cookie to take to that Christmas party that you forgot you were supposed to bring cookies to. Or your oven broke. Or - admit it - you simply don’t want to bake Christmas cookies.
I invented this all by myself. Well, okay - after I saw something like this being marketed by Oreo, but selling for the incredibly high price of nearly $3 for a tiny package with 20 cookies in it. That’s when I decided to do something similar myself.
They turned out so beautiful, I knew I had to share my idea with my readers - all 4 of you!
Basically, these are just an Oreo (or in this case, it’s Wal-Mart brand cousin, a “Twist and Shout”) cookie, topped with white chocolate and crushed candy cane. That’s it.
Three easy steps:
1. Buy a package of Oreos, some white chocolate chips, and candy canes.
2. Melt the white chocolate according to the package directions. In the microwave, watch it closely, and you might want to add a few drops of cooking oil. Also, crush some candy canes.
3. Spread a little white chocolate on top, and sprinkle some crushed candy cane on before it hardens.
For one package of Oreos, I melted 1 cup of chocolate and crushed 4 regular-sized candy canes. I had just a little bit extra. These Candy Cane Oreos disappeared quickly.
