I had purchased all the supplies to make chocolate dipped Oreos awhile back, and it was exactly the kind of treat I was in the mood for...
Supplies
Good quality chocolate (I prefer Ghiardelli, but this time I also had some good chocolate left over from our chocolate fondue at Christmas. I did some milk chocolate dipped ones, which are my favorite, and some semi-sweet dipped ones, which are my husband's favorite)
Oreos (I prefer either the Double-Stuf or the Seasonal ones with the colored filling...for some reason the seasonal ones seem to taste fresher)

First, melt chocolate in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over boiling water.

After the chocolate is completely melted, remove from heat and let sit for 3-4 minutes. Stir well, then begin dipping.
Place an Oreo in the chocolate.

Use a fork to coat the Oreo in chocolate

Use the fork to lift the Oreo out of the chocolate, and gently tap the fork on the bowl to remove excess chocolate (I only tap until it stops dripping, I like a thick layer of chocolate :))

Place on wax paper to set. If you're in a hurry, place on wax paper on cookie sheets, and put in your fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes.

To add a little decoration, place candy melts or white chocolate chips in a decorating bag, twist closed, and place in hot water to melt. (I put the water in the microwave until just before it boils).

When your decorating chocolate is all melted (squeeze the bag around to get it all melted), snip off the tip of your bag a little at a time until you find the right size for your vision

I personally ate wayyy too many of these on our family vacation...and they were a huge hit with my family!

When Cole was at home, we use to make these with lollipop sticks as Christmas gifts for friends. Same principle but you take the double stuff Oreo's apart, cut a little V in the frosting, stick the stick in it, dab some melted chocolate on the stick to 'glue' it, then do the dipping. The kids loved them.
You are a woman after my own heart Jen. I'm drooling all over my computer as I type this. If my husband gets made about drool marks, I'll just blame it on you for posting these pictures. ;)
