Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Melt chocolate by placing in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering hot water. Do not let the metal bowl touch the water below.

There are special chocolate dipping forks you can buy at your local craft store; otherwise, break the inner prongs of a plastic fork so you are left with a fork with 2 outside prongs.

Lightly tap each Oreo cookie before dipping to ensure that no crumbs enter the chocolate bath.

Drop a cookie into the chocolate bath. Use your dipping fork to rescue the cookie, grasping the “cookie ridge” between the two layers to give you a grip on the cookie.

Gently tap the cookie on the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate. Place the cookie on the cookie sheet.

Repeat the process for the amount of cookies you wish to make. If you need more chocolate, simply melt more in your pot. If you have extra chocolate you can pour into a plastic container and when it hardens, remove and store in a plastic bag.

Once the chocolate has dried, it is ready to create yourDownton Abbeymonogram. Melt the white chocolate, but don’t let it get too hot as it will scorch. Make a cone with parchment paper or cut a small corner in a thick plastic bag. Carefully scribe a “DA” on each cookie and let cool.

Clean up your cookies by running a sharp knife around the edge to clean up any chocolate drips. These cookies will last for at least a month in an airtight plastic container. Chocolate Dipped Oreos

If you want to try other colors, choose chocolate which has already been colored. Food coloring is water based and will ruin your chocolate if you try to use it. Been there, learned that.
