Gold Glitter Dipped Peanut Butter Oreos are a dazzling treat perfect for parties, gifts, or just a fun snack. These no-bake cookies combine the classic taste of peanut butter Oreos with a shimmering gold finish, creating an elegant dessert that looks as amazing as it tastes.
Ingredients
- Peanut Butter Oreos – 1 package
- White chocolate or candy melts – 2 cups
- Gold edible glitter – As needed
- Gold foil sheets (optional) – For added shimmer
- Wax paper or parchment paper – For setting
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper for easy cleanup and to provide a non-stick surface.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Avoid overheating.
- Dip the Oreos: Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- Add the glitter: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle the gold edible glitter generously over the Oreo. If using gold foil sheets, carefully apply small pieces for a luxurious touch.
- Set the cookies: Place the dipped and glittered Oreos on the prepared baking sheet. Allow them to set at room temperature or speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Final touches: Once the chocolate has hardened, inspect each cookie and add more glitter if needed.
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serving: These Oreos are best served on a decorative tray to showcase their gold shimmer. Pair them with champagne or a sparkling drink for an upscale vibe.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Avoid freezing as it may dull the glitter finish.
