Chocolate Covered Oreos
Chocolate covered Oreos are the best homemade Christmas gift! The three different recipes for this easy no-bake treat are so much fun.
I made three variations of Chocolate Covered Oreos:
Milk chocolate with dark chocolate drizzle
Peppermint dark chocolate (perfect for Christmas!)
Milk chocolate peanut butter (peanut butter IN the chocolate AND topping!)
