  • It only uses 3 ingredients. Just oreos, milk and sugar.
  • It’s super thick. This is a truly rich dessert drink and the thick texture gives an added element of decadence.

FAQ

Does dunkin have oreo hot chocolate?

Yes! This version is inspired by dunkin’s oreo drink.

Can I add chocolate to this?

Yes, you can add 1-2 tablespoon of chocolate chips. It tastes absolutely delicious but it does overpower the oreo flavor.

Is oreo hot chocolate gluten free?

It can be. Just use gluten free oreos instead of regular ones.

Why is this hot chocolate gray?

When the oreos melt in the milk, they turn a gray color. This is completely normal.

Expert Tips

  • Don’t overheat the hot chocolate. This mixture is very liquidy for the first few minutes on the stove. All of a sudden, it will thicken up. Stop heating it at this point, otherwise, it will become too thick.
  • Too thick? Add some milk. If you accidentally overheated the hot chocolate and want it to be thinner, stir in small amounts of milk until you get the consistency desired.

    Amazing recipe! Sorry for my earlier complaint. At first, I thought it was not enough hot chocolate, but it was actually the perfect serving size. I'm gonna have to show my family this recipe. It is amazing!

    Oh my gosh! This is soooo good! It was so simple, easy and delicious. However, I think the serving size was too small. Personally, I like a full cup of hot chocolate, but the serving size for one was only about a half of a coffee mug. If you like a full mug of hot chocolate, then I would suggest doing the 2x serving for one person. Does that make sense? Hopefully it does. Overall, amazing recipe!
