Peppermint Dark Chocolate Oreos
This might be the easiest recipe I’ve ever posted on Petite Southern Kitchen y’all! These Peppermint Dark Chocolate Oreos were inspired by none other than my beloved Trader Joe’s! ;) I picked up a package of what they call "Peppermint Joe Joe’s" a few weeks ago when I was back in Texas and my first thought was OMG I can totallyyyy make these at home!
The key is to use DOUBLE STUFFED OREOS! Why you may ask?? Well, since we're adding even more chocolate to the Oreos by dunking them in dark chocolate it’s important that there is still an even balance of cream and chocolate!
If you have kiddos they will go CRAZY for these and love helping make them as well! Oh, and did I mention that non-bakers will also be obsessed this recipe?!
Since these can be made days in advance & taste just as good as they did on the day you made them, these cookies are PERFECT for Christmas gifts to exchange with friends, family, and neighbors!
