Directions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   Twist apart each Oreo and spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one half. Reassemble the Oreos, pressing gently to secure the filling.
2. Melt the Chocolate:
   In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
3. Dip the Oreos:
   Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the dipped Oreo on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Decorate with Gold Glitter:
   Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the dipped Oreos with edible gold glitter or luster dust. For a more precise application, use a small brush to apply the glitter.
5. Set the Chocolate:
   Let the Oreos sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
6. Serve or Store:
   Transfer the finished Oreos to a serving platter or store them in an airtight container.
