Tips For the Best White Chocolate Covered Oreos
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while now and I’m so glad I finally did. It’s such a simple yet satisfying way to curb my cravings.
And since the recipe is so simple, I only have a few tips:
- Chocolate brands. Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers or Nestle white chocolate chips are recommended for their smooth melting and good flavor. White almond bark works nicely too.
- Melt the chocolate slowly. Use a double boiler or microwave on 50% to melt the white chocolate. It’s prone to burning so be patient and stir frequently.
- The best dipping technique. Use a fork to dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate. Submerge them and flip them to ensure even coating. Then, tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Decoration ideas. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for a nice contrast. Or top with sprinkles, crushed peppermints, or other candy pieces before the white chocolate sets. Other options include chopped nuts, toasted coconut, or crushed pretzels.
- Variations. Experiment with different flavors of Oreos, use colored candy melts instead of white chocolate, or add peanut butter or butterscotch chips with the white chocolate.
How to Store
These chocolate covered Oreos make a great addition to any party or gathering.
Plus, they look so pretty and impressive, no one will guess how simple they were to make!
And yes, they store well, too!
To Store: Place the Oreos in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for 1 month.
To Freeze: Flash freeze the Oreos on a baking tray, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag for 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Note: While you can freeze these, I don’t usually recommend it.
The chocolate is likely to dry out and can crack. On the flip side, if it’s exposed to moisture, it can turn grainy after thawing.
