Looking for an easy red, white and blue treat for your Memorial Day or 4th of July BBQ, picnic or potluck? Then you have to try these chocolate dipped Patriotic Oreos! Pretty and delicious!
How To Make Patriotic Oreos
I admit, I do like to add a little something to the theme of a party by bringing or severing a recipe that ties in. Sometime I can be a little too ambitious. Like the time I made “pupcakes” for my daughter’s 6th birthday party, which took about triple the amount of time I thought it would and the help of my husband to finish!
That’s why I love these Patriotic Oreos – the perfect summer cookie!. They’re so easy to make, yet look adorable and are usually gone within minutes. You could say they’re the life of the party!
Since the recipe is so simple, kids are great helpers when it comes to making Patriotic Oreos. Be prepared though, some cookies may disappear before they’re covered in chocolate or immediately thereafter 🙂

Patriotic Oreos
Ingredients
- 12 double-stuffed Oreos
- 1 1/2 cups Wilton white candy melts
- 1/2 cup Wilton red candy melts
- 1/2 cup Wilton royal blue candy melts
- Red, white, and blue Sprinkles, Non-Pariels, and Jimmies
Instructions
- Lay out wax paper.
- Fill a microwave-safe bowl with white candy melts, and melt them in the microwave (using 20-second increments and stirring afterward).
- Dip Oreo cookie into the white candy, allowing the candy to completely cover the cookie, and then lay the cookie on your sheet of wax paper to cool and firm.
- Add sprinkles while the candy melt is still wet (if desired).
- Repeat the process for each additional color of candy melts you choose to use.
- Drizzle with chocolate if desired. (The easiest way is put the candy melts in a plastic baggie and melt in microwave. Then, snip a corner and drizzle!)
Notes
Tips for Making Chocolate Covered Oreos
- If you want to add a drizzle of color, melt 6-8 candy melts in a snack size ziploc bag. The candy melts a little faster in the bag than in the cup, so microwave it in 10 second increments, kneading the bag in between. Snip a tiny piece off of the corner of the bag and then drizzle the melted candy over the Oreo cookies.
- If you’re feeding a crowd, I’d double or triple the recipe.
It’s easy, so grab a bag of cookies and some candy melts and make some Patriotic Cookies today. They’re great for festive holidays like Memorial Day or 4th of July, or anytime you want a colorful, tasty treat that party goers love.

June 20, 2016 at 9:03 amYES! I found some great gluten free sandwich cookies and I’ve been a bit obsessed with them. LOL This will amp up that obsession even more. Fourth of July food is so fun to decorate, I love the red, white and blue. And the white bark/chocolate gives you a great canvas for cool sprinkles!
BTW, mad props to you, your images and the styling of them is so awesome. I love coming over and getting a great recipe, and your images always pull me in. And your daughter is adorable!
Erin says
June 21, 2016 at 1:52 pmYeah! I’m sure it’s nice to have a gluten-free option that actually tastes good. You can now decorate them and no one would know the difference 🙂 Thanks for the props on my images and styling. I appreciate your kind words. xo

June 12, 2016 at 2:55 pmErin, these are fantastic and we must be on the same wavelength. My husband ❤s OREOs but I really never buy them. This week I decided I ought to buy him some since it was the week before Father’s Day (yeah, I’m a great wife that way!). So funny that you would post this when I actually have Oreos in the house! It’s kismet. My parents are having a 4th of July party and I think I need to make these…but I will surely have to buy more Oreos before then…even though I bought a Costco sized box of them this week.
BTW…your daughter? Adorable!
Hugs…Lynn
Erin says
June 12, 2016 at 3:12 pmOreos are only for special occasions around here. I don’t usually buy them either…only when I want to make something special. Oreo truffles or these chocolate dipped cookies. My daughter thought it was quite a treat to have them in the house…as you can see!

Erin says
June 12, 2016 at 3:13 pmI love the way they look so festive! And so simple to make! These are usually the first thing to go at a party, so definitely a recipe to keep around!
