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 🙂

Instructions
- Lay out wax paper.

- Add sprinkles while the candy melt is still wet (if desired).

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.

Nikki Frank-Hamilton says
YES! 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
Yeah! 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

These are just too cute. I have a 5 year old oreo cookie monster at my house. So these would be a hit. I would love to have you link up with us at Family Joy Blog Link Up Party this week. Check it out http://thinking-outside-the-pot.com/?p=2629
Sara Syrett says
Oh my, I dont think I could resist eating all of these if I made them. They are so adorable too. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday. Visiting from http://www.twelveonmain.com. Have a great weekend!
Erin says
Thanks for coming by, Sara! They are cute and it’s an easy enough DIY for the kids to help, too! Love you blog!
Leslie says
These are so cute! My kids would love just to have Oreos in the house, and would go nuts if they saw me making these!
Erin says
Yep! that’s what happened here, Leslie. The kids went wild when they saw I was making these. It’s a treat to have Oreos….and when they’re dipped in chocolate. wow!
Jen Penas says
Super cute! Saw you on Share The Wealth Sunday!! Going to pin these right now! Cheers!
Erin says
Thanks for the pin, Jen. These little Oreo cookies are cute and yummy. Plus, easy to make.
Lynn says
Erin, 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
Oreos 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!
Linda at Mixed Kreations says
I love oreos, and these are so pretty!Fun snack idea for the 4th of July.
Erin says
I 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!
