Chocolate Dipped Stackers

Although I've been having some issues with Pinterest recipes not working out lately, the website did give me some inspiration for today's recipe!

I call them Chocolate Dipped Stackers because you stack up some cookies and random tasty treats and then dip the whole thing in chocolate. 

Candy 'N Cookies Candy Chips and Double Stuf Oreos
The bag of Candy 'n Cookies was found at Dollar Tree.

Ingredients:
Oreos
Something for your center
Dipping chocolate

Cole was my photographer again this week!

We decided that we would separate the Oreos and only keep the halves with the cream attached. Then, we took two of the cream-coated cookies and stuck a candy cookie in the middle.

As if that wasn't enough sweetness overload, we dipped the whole thing in chocolate.

Like the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites, we set the Chocolate Dipped Stackers on plastic wrap to solidify.

My Tips:

Feel free to switch up the ingredients! For instance, instead of candy cookies, next time I want to try a marshmallow center. Reese's cups, soft chocolate chip cookies or a strawberry slice could also be tasty middles.

There are also other kinds of chocolate that can be used for melting. Michaels sells just about any color of chocolate wafers you can imagine! Whether you need red and green for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, or pastel colors for Easter, you can dip whatever you wish into the colored chocolate of your choice.

Since Cole and I usually like our chocolate cold, we stuck the stackers in the fridge before going to work. Bad idea! They hardened so much that my taste testers had a hard time biting into them, so we had to set them out to warm up.

If you're in a hurry for the stackers to be ready to serve, it should be okay to place them in the fridge for a few minutes. I just wouldn't recommend leaving them in there for a long period of time. 

Happy stacking! Let me know how yours turn out.
