Santa Belt Chocolate Covered Oreos
Santa Belt Chocolate Covered Oreos
With the holidays around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about holiday baking. For us, it’s always a must.
It’s one of the most memorable times during the holidays, and to honor the big guy himself, we came up with these super cute Santa Belt Chocolate Covered Oreos.
Not only are they adorable, but they are delicious too!
They are great for holiday parties, cookie exchanges, or any holiday event. The best part is that this recipe is easy enough for kids to help.

Read on for the step-by-step recipe and printable recipe below.
Things You Will Need:
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 2 cups red candy melts
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- Black decorating frosting
- 1-inch sphere yellow fondant
- White decorating frosting
Yields: One dozen decorated Oreo cookies
You may even want to cover your workspace with parchment paper. Spills happen, especially with kids, and it will help make clean up much easier.
If you want to avoid your cute desserts sticking, use these reusable silicone baking mats!
If you rather skip the mats, line a baking sheet with wax paper and set it aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave candy melts and coconut oil in 30-second intervals until completely melted.
With the help of a fork, dip each Oreo cookie into the candy. Place gently onto the lined baking sheet. Let set for at least 15 minutes.
Once everything is set and dry, pipe out one strip of black icing on the bottom portion of each cookie. This will act as Santa’s belt. You can add an extra line for thickness.
Roll out your yellow fondant sphere and cut tiny little pieces. Place two on the center of each “belt.” This will act as the belt’s hardware or, what I call, the buckle! Then, pipe out two buttons on each cookie with the white frosting.
Ho, Ho, Ho!
Now you have the cutest Santa Belt Chocolate Covered Oreos to bring to your next event. But, of course, maybe you are just going to enjoy them yourself. Don’t worry, we definitely won’t judge!
