Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 25–30 Oreos
- 24 oz Dark green chocolate melting wafers
- 2 tbsp holiday sprinkles
Marshmallow Filling
- 2 packets of gelatin powder
- 11/2 cups cold water
- 1 1/2 cups granulated cane sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup cold water and gelatin packets to a stand mixer bowl. Let it set to activate while you make your hot syrup.
- In a saucepan, over medium heat, heat your sugar and 1 cup water. Use a candy thermometer to carefully watch until the temperature reaches 240°F (soft ball).
- Once your syrup has reached 240°F, remove from heat. Turn your stand mixer on to medium speed with the whisk attachment and gently and slowly pour your hot syrup into the mixer. Once you have emptied all the syrup, increase the mixing speed to high. Mix for 10 minutes until your marshmallow mixture has increased in size and is fluffy. Add in your vanilla and whisk for 30 more seconds.
- Fill a piping bag with marshmallow fluff. Cut the ends 1/4” way up and pipe marshmallow swirls on the top of each Oreo cookie. Set them aside to set for about 30 minutes, until tacky to the touch.
- Melt green melting chocolate wafers, following the package directions. If you’re using white chocolate chips instead of melting wafers, melt the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until it is smooth.
- Dip each Oreo fluff upside down into the chocolate and carefully place it back on the sheet pan to set. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with Christmas sprinkles to decorate the trees.
