If it were socially acceptable (or if my family would allow it) I would be putting up Christmas decorations the day after Halloween.
Christmas is my favorite holiday by far. I love the feeling in the air, I love shopping for presents, wrapping them, blasting Christmas music, baking Christmas cookies, and decorating my house like a mini winter wonderland. How can someone not enjoy glittery glass ornaments, the smell of a freshly-cut pine tree, or the twinkle of hundreds of rainbow lights adorning the house?!
Anyway.This year was particularly nerve-wracking because we didn’t set up our tree until yesterday. AKA, December 6th. That’s like, an abomination in my book. I would have ideally loved to set it up the day after Thanksgiving, but since I was out of town, I couldn’t. And when I returned, eager to unpack and decorate, I was informed the carpet cleaner was coming and thus there’d be no point to put it up in his way.

Oreo Ornaments Christmas
Prep Time15 mins
Total Time15 mins
Ingredients
- 16 oz white candy coating wafers
- 24 miniature peanut butter cups
- Miniature M&M candies or other small candies
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. Place the candy coating in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating, until the coating is melted and smooth.
- Using forks or candy dipping tools, dip a cookie in the melted coating until it's completely covered. Remove it from the coating and let the excess drip back into the bowl, then place it on the baking sheet.
- While the coating is still wet, press a mini peanut butter cup onto the side of the cookie. Add mini M&Ms to the top in a decorative pattern.
- Repeat, dipping the remaining cookies and decorating them with peanut butter cups and M&Ms. If the coating gets too thick while dipping, re-warm it briefly in the microwave until flulid again.
- Refrigerate the tray to let the coating set completely, for about 10 minutes. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
