About Making Chocolate Dipped Oreos (Recipe FAQs)
Let’s cover some common questions for this recipe and tips for melting and dipping…
Best Way To Dip Cookies In Chocolate
The best way to dip cookies and cover them in chocolate is to use a mini slow cooker. The chocolate stays melted while you work your way through covering the cookies. After dipping cookies, run a fork over the top in a circle to create a beautiful swirl on top if you’re leaving them plain or sprinkle immediately with Christmas sprinkles.
A small melter like this works really well for this recipe, especially if you are making this recipe with kids. (If you’re wondering how to melt almond bark, it’s the same process as chocolate and easy in a small crockpot! You can even add it to your excess chocolate.)
You can also use the double boiler method, but it’s not as safe if you’re doing this as kids activities.
You definitely need a piece of wax paper or parchment paper that you can easily remove the sweet treat once the chocolate hardens.
How long are they good for?
How long do chocolate covered Oreos Christmas cookies?
You can store chocolate covered Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a couple of weeks (or more!).
Can you refrigerate Oreo dipped cookies?
Some people refrigerate their Chocolate covered Oreos Christmas cookies or even freeze cookies.
However, I don’t find this to be the best method of storage.
After refrigeration, chocolate cookies will form condensation (they “sweat”) when sitting at room temperature, which makes sometimes makes them soggy or not as good for party platters.
