How to Make Christmas Tree Oreos

These no bake Christmas Oreo cookies are incredibly easy to make. All you need to do is melt, dip, decorate, and let them set!

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper.

This will keep the candy coated Oreos from sticking while they set.

Arrange your decorating supplies nearby so everything is ready to use.

Step 2: Melt the Candy Melts

Place ½ cup white candy melts in a microwave safe bowl.

Melt according to the package instructions, stirring until smooth.

In a separate bowl, melt 1 cup green candy melts until smooth and creamy.

Be careful not to overheat the candy melts, since they can become thick and difficult to work with.

Step 3: Dip the Oreo Cookies

Take one Oreo cookie and dip just the bottom portion into the melted white candy coating.

You want to create a snowy white section along the bottom of the cookie rather than coating the entire Oreo.

Gently tap off any excess candy coating and place the cookie on your prepared baking sheet.

Repeat with all 12 Oreo cookies.

Step 4: Create the Christmas Trees

Transfer the melted green candy coating into a piping bag.

Snip a small opening at the tip of the bag.

Starting near the top of each Oreo, pipe the green candy melts in a zigzag pattern.

Make the zigzag narrower at the top and wider toward the bottom to create the shape of a Christmas tree.

Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Step 5: Decorate the Trees

While the green candy coating is still wet, carefully place one star sprinkle at the top of each Christmas tree.

Next, sprinkle the colorful nonpareils over the green candy coating.

The tiny sprinkles will stick to the melted candy and look like little Christmas ornaments.

Step 6: Let the Cookies Set

Allow the decorated Oreo cookies to sit until the candy coating has completely hardened.

If you’re in a hurry, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes to help the coating set faster.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Once the candy coating is completely set, carefully remove the cookies from the parchment paper.

Arrange them on a festive serving platter or package them in clear treat bags for gifting.

Your adorable Christmas Tree Oreos are ready to enjoy!
