Occasion	Christmas

Ingredients

• 1 Package OREO cookies (If desired, get the ones with red or green creme filling to make them more festive.)
• 8 Ounces white chocolate baking bar or pieces or white candy melts
• crushed candy canes or peppermint candies

Directions

Step 1

Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat for 30 second intervals (stirring between) until chocolate is nice and smooth.

Step 2

Dip the Oreo cookies into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off into the bowl, and place them on wax paper or parchment paper.

Step 3

Sprinkle each cookie generously with the crushed candy (do this before the chocolate is completely set so the candies will stick).
