Recipe FAQs

How long does chocolate-dipped Oreos stay fresh?

They will stay fresh for up to two weeks as long as they are stored properly. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature to help them stay fresh.

Are there Halloween Oreos?

Oreos do make a limited edition Halloween Oreo with an orange cream filling. These would be super cute (and yummy!) to use with this recipe. However, plain Oreos are just as delicious!

What kind of chocolate is good for melting and dipping?

I prefer to use chocolate candy melts with this recipe. It creates a smooth thin coating which is perfect for dipping the Oreos into and then decorating. I do not recommend melting chocolate chips as they are too thick and go on as smoothly as candy melts.
