Ingredients

Ingredient Notes

White Fudge Covered Oreos

These save a lot of time since they’re already coated in white chocolate.

Can’t find them? Simply dip regular Oreos in melted white chocolate and allow them to harden before decorating.

Mini Reese’s Cups

These become the ornament topper and make the cookies instantly recognizable as Christmas ornaments.

White Frosting

The frosting acts as edible glue to hold everything together.

How to Make Edible Oreo Christmas Ornaments

Step 1: Assemble the Ornament

Spread a small amount of frosting on the bottom of each mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

Press it gently onto the top of a White Fudge Oreo.

Allow it to set for a minute.

Step 2: Frost the Cookie

Spread a thin layer of white frosting across the top of the Oreo.

This helps all of your decorations stick.

Step 3: Decorate

Decorate each ornament with:

Christmas sprinkles
Mini M&M’s
Colored sugars
Holiday candy decorations

Let kids get creative—no two ornaments have to look alike.

Step 4: Let Them Set

Place the decorated cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or leave them in a cool room until the frosting firms up.

Serve and enjoy!

Tips for Success

Use white fudge-covered Oreos to save time.
Don’t overload the frosting or decorations may slide off.
Chill the cookies before packaging them.
Let children decorate their own ornaments for a fun holiday activity.
Store in a cool place so the frosting stays firm.
