Helpful Tips
- Use melted white chocolate or candy melts as “glue”: This will hold the candy decorations in place and dry quickly for a clean finish.
- Pipe the icing carefully: Use a fine-tip piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a tiny corner snipped off for precision when drawing the string lights.
- Customize with your favorite candies: Mini M&M’s, rainbow sprinkles, or even gummy candies can work as lights, so use what you love or have on hand!

Festive Chocolate-Dipped Christmas Light Oreos
Ingredients
- 12 Oreos I used Oreo thins to limit calories per treat
- 5 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1 black gel writing pen
- 6 mini Reese’s cups
- Candy dots or gel for lights
Instructions
- Heat the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl at 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
- Dip the cookies into the chocolate and place them on a wire rack to cool.
- Once cooled, draw the black string onto the cookies. Place the colored dots at intervals along the string, while the gel is still wet.
- Cut the mini Reese's cups in half. Put a little white chocolate on the top of the cookie and press half of a Reese's cup on.
Notes
- Oreos now come already dipped in white chocolate, which can save you time, if you can find them.
