# List of Ingredients:

14.3 oz (405 g, 36 count) regular Oreo cookies
→ Chocolate Coating
02 -
1 1/2 cups (9 oz, 255 g) chocolate candy melts
→ Decorations

36 light brown candy melts

36 red M&M candies

36 twisted pretzels
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Line a baking sheet or cooling rack with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 -
Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well and continue heating in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted, approximately up to 5 minutes depending on microwave.
03 -
Using a fork or candy dipper, fully submerge each Oreo in melted chocolate. Gently tap to remove excess coating and place on prepared parchment paper.
04 -
While chocolate is still soft, affix one light brown candy melt on the bottom half of each cookie for the snout. Place two candy eyeballs just above the snout and attach a red M&M nose using a small dab of melted chocolate. Break pretzels in half then press one half onto each side of the cookie to form antlers.
05 -
Allow decorated Oreos to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes until the chocolate coating hardens before serving.
