Holiday OREO Cookie Tree Recipe

Directions

1. Step 1

   Combine the melted white chocolate and food colouring. Mix well.

2. Step 2

   Take a baking sheet. Cover it with parchment paper.

3. Step 3

   Take 1 Oreo Cookie. Insert a wooden popstick in the centre, into the cookie filling.

4. Step 4

   Dip the Oreo Cookies, one at a time, into the coloured chocolate mixture. Turn them around so that both sides are evenly coated with melted chocolate. Gently shake it to remove the excess chocolate.

5. Step 5

   Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet to resemble Christmas trees. Add the holiday sprinkles.

6. Step 6

   Use a spoon to transfer the melted Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk into a resealable plastic bag. Make a hole in a corner at the bottom of the bag to use as a piping bag.

7. Step 7

   Pipe chocolate lines on the tree so that they resemble the Christmas light wires.

8. Step 8

   Use Cadbury Gems to make the lights.

9. Step 9

   Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the coating is firm.

• To keep the colored chocolate from getting too thick, make sure it stays warm and pourable. This will help the coating spread evenly and avoid thick patches.
• After dipping, lightly tap the cookie to get rid of extra coating and keep the tree shape clean.
• Before piping chocolate lines, put the tray in the fridge for five minutes to keep the surface firm while you decorate.
• To keep the chocolate from seizing and to keep the shine, only use oil-based colors.
• Put Gems on right after piping to make sure they stay on.

• To keep the firm outside of these winter dessert ideas, store the coated trees in a single layer in a container that doesn't let air in.
• After putting it together, put it in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes to fully set the chocolate lines and decorations.
• To keep the chocolate from blooming, keep it away from moisture.
• Don't stack the piped chocolate wires and attached Gems to keep them safe.
• Eat it within four days for the best taste and texture.

• For a winter-themed version of the holiday Oreo cookie tree Christmas recipe, swap out the green coating for white chocolate and add blue sprinkles.
• For a high-end holiday look, add edible gold accents.
• Use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate to get a stronger flavor.
• For custom color themes, trade Cadbury Gems for mini fondant shapes.
• Add crushed peppermint to the coating for a fun twist on the season.

• When you use water-based coloring, the chocolate seizes up, which makes it hard to get the smooth finish you need for holiday Oreo cookie tree designs.
• When you dip cookies in chocolate that is too hot, the chocolate will streak and not cover the cookies evenly.
• If you don't chill the decorations, they will move or slide.
• When you pipe on a warm coating, the lines melt and become crooked.
• If you let the sprinkles sit out too long before putting them in the fridge, they will fall off easily.

• To keep the crisp shell and bright colors that are good for winter desserts, serve these trees cold.
• For a holiday display, stand them up in foam blocks.
• To balance them out, drink them with warm drinks like hot chocolate or cinnamon tea.
• To add color and height, put them on dessert boards.
• Wrap each one separately for gifts or party favors.
