Festive St Patricks Day Oreo Treats came together one quiet March afternoon when the kitchen felt especially bright with early spring light. My husband was at the table sorting mail, occasionally glancing over as green candy melts warmed on the counter.
One of the grandchildren sat nearby, carefully lining up Oreos and debating which sprinkles looked the most “lucky.” Outside, the neighborhood had already begun its gentle shift into St. Patrick’s Day with ribbons on doors and paper shamrocks taped to windows.
Festive St Patricks Day Oreo Treats fit naturally into that moment. A simple dessert felt right, something playful but familiar, with just enough color to make everyone smile. My daughter stopped by briefly, still bundled in her coat, sharing stories from work while watching the cookies slowly take shape. The kitchen felt busy in a calm way, full of small conversations and easy laughter.
Festive St Patricks Day Oreo Treats have a way of drawing people in without much effort. Someone always wants to help dip, another reaches for the sprinkles, and before long the baking sheet fills with green and white cookies waiting to set. Those small shared tasks seem to suit the holiday well, simple, cheerful, and meant to be enjoyed together.
Short Description
Festive St Patricks Day Oreo Treats are a quick no bake dessert made by dipping Oreo cookies into green and white chocolate and topping them with sprinkles. Crisp, creamy, and perfect for holiday platters or classroom treats.
Key Ingredients
- 24 Double Stuffed Oreo cookies or regular Oreos
- 1 cup green melting chocolate or candy melts
- 1 cup white melting chocolate or candy melts
- ¼ cup green and white sprinkles
- Wax paper or parchment paper
Tools Needed
- Microwave safe bowls
- Spoon or silicone spatula
- Baking sheet
- Wax paper or parchment paper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Surface
Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Set the Oreo cookies out in a single layer so they are easy to grab during dipping.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Place green melting chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat in 30 second intervals until smooth. Melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl using the same method. The chocolate should be glossy and fluid.
Step 3: Dip the Oreos
Hold an Oreo and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the cookie on the prepared sheet, chocolate side up.
Step 4: Add the Sprinkles
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle green and white sprinkles generously over the coated portion. Work in small batches so the chocolate does not set too quickly.
Step 5: Let the Cookies Set
Allow the cookies to rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes. The chocolate should harden completely and look smooth and firm.
Step 6: Serve
Once set, arrange the cookies neatly on a platter. They look especially cheerful lined up with a few extra sprinkles scattered around for color.
