Tips for Making Halloween Chocolate Covered Oreos
- Use melting wafers or candy melts for the smoothest coating. White chocolate chips may become thick or seize when melted.
- Make sure the Oreos are at room temperature before dipping them.
- Stir the melting chocolate after every microwave interval to keep it from overheating.
- Let the white coating harden completely before drawing the faces.
- If the coating becomes too thick, stir in a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable shortening.
- Place the finished Oreos in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes if you need the coating to set more quickly.
Decorating Ideas
The Jack Skellington faces do not need to look identical. Give each cookie a slightly different expression by changing the shape of the eyes or the angle of the stitched smile.
You can also decorate your Halloween chocolate covered Oreos with candy eyes, Halloween sprinkles, crushed Oreos or contrasting chocolate drizzles. Try orange, purple or green candy melts when making an assorted Halloween dessert tray.
White chocolate chips can be used, but they do not melt as smoothly as candy melts or melting wafers. Add a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to thin the melted chocolate if needed. Do not add water, since even a small amount can cause the chocolate to seize.
You can make chocolate dipped Oreos up to one week in advance. For the best appearance and texture, prepare them about two to five days before serving.
Allow the coating and decorations to dry completely before placing the cookies in an airtight container. Separate the layers with parchment or wax paper and store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigeration is usually unnecessary and may cause condensation to form on the chocolate. If your kitchen is warm or humid, refrigerate the cookies in a tightly sealed container. Let the container come to room temperature before opening it to help prevent moisture from settling on the Oreos.
Chocolate covered Oreos can be stored at room temperature when your kitchen is cool and dry. Keep them in an airtight container so the cookies remain crisp. Refrigerate them only when the room is especially warm or humid.
Yes. Regular, Double Stuf, Golden and seasonal Oreo flavors can all be used. Choose a cookie with a flavor that pairs well with the white chocolate coating. Avoid using broken cookies because crumbs can fall into the melted chocolate.
