Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1 13.9-ounce package Oreos
- 1 box Junior Mints
- 100 mini brown M&Ms from 1 family size package of mini M&Ms
- Sanding sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to place the dipped Oreos on for setting.
- Melt the white chocolate. Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the Oreos. Using a fork, drop one Oreo into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it by flipping it over. Remove the Oreo and shake off excess chocolate, scraping the bottom edge against the bowl to prevent pooling.
- Decorate the Oreos. Place the coated Oreo on the parchment paper. Place one Junior Mint at the bottom center as the pad of the paw, then arrange 4 mini brown M&Ms above it as the toes. Generously sprinkle with sanding sugar. Repeat for each Oreo, working in batches of about 5 for easier handling.
- Set the Oreos. Transfer the decorated Oreos to the freezer for 5-10 minutes to allow the white chocolate to set completely.
- Store and serve. Keep the Oreo Polar Bear Paws in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. While they can be frozen, the M&Ms may lose color after thawing.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
- Freezing is not recommended as the mini M&Ms tend to lose color upon thawing.
- Working in small batches makes the dipping and decorating process more manageable.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
