Ingredients
Scale
- Oreos (regular or double-stuffed)
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Black decorating icing or black candy melts
- Mini square pretzels or black fondant (optional)
- Edible gold or colored sprinkles
- Wax or parchment paper
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate: Place 12 ounces (340 grams) of white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring well each time, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted (about 1 to 1.5 minutes). Avoid overheating to prevent seizing.
- Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Dip the Oreos: Holding an Oreo by the edges, dip it into the melted white chocolate, coating fully or partially. Let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place on the prepared sheet: Set the dipped Oreo on the wax paper-lined tray. Repeat with all Oreos.
- Create the mortarboard caps: Once the dipped Oreos have set slightly (tacky but not fully hardened), use black decorating icing or melted dark chocolate to pipe a square cap on top. If using mini square pretzels or black fondant, gently press these onto the center before the chocolate hardens.
- Add the tassel: Pipe a thin line from the center of the cap to one corner, then add a small dot or sprinkle at the end for the tassel’s tip.
- Let the Oreos set completely: Allow to sit at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is firm and glossy.
- Optional finishing touches: Dust with edible glitter or add sprinkles for extra sparkle.
Notes
Heat white chocolate gently in short bursts to avoid seizing. Hold Oreos by edges when dipping to avoid fingerprints. Pipe tassels while chocolate is tacky for best adhesion. Add a tiny splash of vegetable oil if chocolate thickens. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze individually wrapped.
