Ingredients

16-20 oreo cookies
10 ounces chocolate melting wafers
20 themed royal icing decorations

Instructions

Heat Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers according to package. I am using the double boil method. Melt chocolate until smooth and completely melted.
Using a fork or a dipping tool (slotted spoon), dip an Oreo cookie in melted chocolate then hold it over the melted chocolate for a few seconds to allow some of the excess chocolate to drip off. Carefully transfer cookie to a clean fork or dipping tool (3-prong dipping fork). This ensured not too much chocolate sticks to the bottom of the Oreo.
Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Immediately, top with a royal icing decoration in the center of the Oreo. Repeat with remaining Oreos and allow the chocolate covered Oreos to set at room temperature until completely dried. Once dried, remove and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure all your equipment is absolutely dry and free from any water droplets, otherwise your chocolate will seize and be grainy.

Keep your hands mess free with these tools! I use this 5-piece Wilton candy melt decorating piece set. Perfect for dipping, dunking and drizzling a variety of treats including Oreos, pretzels, fruit and much more. I used the slotted spoon to dip the Oreos and let the access chocolate drip off. Then, I carefully transferred the oreo to the 3-prong dipping fork so there's minimal chocolate stuck and then placed on the parchment paper. And, clean off the chocolate on the 3-prong dipping fork in between each use.

When dipping, shake off excess chocolate by gently shaking the tool or tapping the tool against the bowl with the melted chocolate. But, not too much! You still want a thick enough coating that you don't see the design of the Oreo underneath.

Using a tooth pick/small offset spatula if you have any air bubbles in your chocolate and need to smooth it out.

Don't use broken Oreos! In a pack of Oreos, you'll come across some cookies that are broken or split. Do not use them. As any loose crumbs will taint your melted chocolate.
