Gluten-Free Chocolate Covered Oreos

Last week, we made these special treats for a gluten-free friend. They are such a delicious and good-looking treat, that I had to share with all of you. I hope you enjoy or make them for all the GF people you know.

I wish you all have a wonderful and blessed 2014!

You’ll need:

• Candy cookie mold (I used this one from Wilton)
• Candy melts (Wilton candy melts are gluten-free, if you need a dairy free, you can buy these, I also found them at my local Target)
• Oreos cookies (my favorite is gluten free and dairy free Newman’s Own Organics Newman O’s Cookies)

Directions:

1. Melt Chocolate:

Coarsely chop chocolate. Place chocolate or candy wafers in the double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

2. Fill the Mold:

Pour the chocolate into the mold cavities, approx. 1/3 full. Tap the mold onto the table to settle the chocolate, and remove any trapped air.

4. Add the Cookie:
Press the Oreo Cookie into the chocolate. As you press the Oreo into the mold cavity, the chocolate will rise up around the sides, embedding the cookie, and leaving only the top uncovered.

5. Top it Off:
Pour chocolate over top the Oreo, filling the mold and completely covering the cookie.

6. Remove from Mold:
Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Turn the mold upside down and press on the back center of the cavity to release the chocolate covered cookies.
