Tips that help me when working with Melting Chocolate
Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts: Melt the chocolate slowly to avoid burning. If using a microwave, heat in 15–20 second intervals, stirring in between.
Add a little shortening or coconut oil: This helps thin the chocolate for smoother dipping and creates a shinier finish.
Keep water away from your chocolate: Even a small drop of water can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
Use a fork or dipping tool: It makes it easier to lift the cookie out cleanly and let excess chocolate drip off.
Work quickly after dipping: Add the candy eggs while the chocolate is still wet so they stick properly.
Line your tray with parchment or wax paper: This keeps the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Chill to set faster: Pop the tray into the fridge for 10–15 minutes to help the chocolate harden quickly.

Yes, you can use chocolate chips, but they may need a bit of shortening or coconut oil to thin out for dipping. Melting wafers or candy melts are easier to work with since they melt smoothly and set with a glossy finish.
You can make Chocolate Covered Oreos up to one week in advance. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge to keep them fresh.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat
Refrigerate: Place the cookies in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. Use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Let them come to room temperature before serving to avoid condensation on the chocolate.
Freezer: Place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet first, then transfer to an airtight container with parchment paper between layers. Store for up to 2 months.
Thaw: Allow the cookies to thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature (uncovered) to prevent moisture buildup.
