All you do is melt some chocolate with a little bit of Crisco and dip the oreos in. Tap off excess chocolate, and place the dipped oreo on wax paper to harden. If you want you can put them in the refridgerator to harden faster. Decorate them while they are still wet. I wrapped mine in mini cellophane bags and tied a little ribbon around them after.
Excuse my crappy pictures. My mom dropped my nice camera in the sand I cannot use a point and shoot camera to save my soul.
I also made spiced nuts. I didn't take pictures of them because nuts are pretty boring to look at, but the recipie is super quick and easy, and they are AMAZING. I got the recipie from here. My fiance loves nuts to I decided to make him homemade spiced nuts, and I am really happy and excited to see if he likes them, which he should cause I love them. The recipie is:
3 C whole almonds or pecans
1 C sugar
1 egg white
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp water
2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease a a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan. Lightly beat egg white; add water and beat until frothy, but not stiff. Add nuts and stir until well coated. Mix sugar, salt and cinnamon together and sprinkle over nuts and toss to coat. Spread nuts on pan and bake for 1 hour stirring occasionally (I stirred them every 15 minutes. It works great if you set your oven timer every 15 minutes.)
i made some chocolate dipped oreos once, and stuck them in the freezer. i promptly forgot about them. months later, in a wave of desperation, i found them at the bottom of the freezer and satisfied my desperate need for junk food. it was awesome.
