I still remember the first time that I tried a Cookies and Cream caramel apple at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory so I decided to make them at home. They are super easy to make. Simply swirl the apples in melted white chocolate and then dip them in crushed Oreo cookies. The white chocolate hardens quickly so you can eat them almost immediately. Spread leftover melted white chocolate on waxed paper and top it with crushed Oreo cookies to make a decadent cookies & cream white chocolate bark that will be just as popular as the candied apples.
