Then, you can add chocolate into a bowl (on top) and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
Microwave Method: You can heat your chocolate in 30-second intervals, but make sure that you’re stirring in between until smooth and velvety. If you don’t stir, chocolate will burn.

Tell me in the comment section how you made the recipe, what the taste was, and what variation you tried. I would love to know your opinion.

Can I use other cookies instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can use other cookies instead of Oreos, such as Nutter Butters, Shortbread, Graham Crackers, etc. All of these cookies have a different texture and flavor.

However, I also like the chocolate-covered Graham Cracker recipe. It’s similar to the Oreo cookies and tastes very good.

What if my chocolate seizes or becomes too thick?

If you’re chocolate sizes, then you can add a tablespoon of coconut oil or a mild vegetable oil. (I prefer coconut oil). And then, stir it until the chocolate gets smooth and a little thin.

Plus, you can warm it slightly if the chocolate becomes too thick when you are making the recipe.

Can these treats be made vegan or gluten-free?

Yes, you just need to use vegan chocolate and choose gluten-free Oreos. For chocolate, I prefer Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt & Almonds, which is both gluten-free and vegan.

Other chocolate you can try is Hu Kitchen Cashew Butter + Pure Vanilla Bean Dark Chocolate, and use Oro like OREO Gluten Free Golden Sandwich Cookies.

How long do they last, and what’s the best way to store them?

If you properly store your chocolate-covered Oreos using an airtight container and keep it at room temperature, then these cookies can last around up to 2 weeks.

If you use parchment paper in packaging and consider refrigerating or freezing it, cookies will last up to 3 months.

However, I recommend you make them fresh whenever you want because the recipe doesn’t take too much time, it’s easy to make, plus fresh is always better.

What if I don’t have a double boiler?

If you don’t have a double boiler, then don’t worry. Just use the microwave method to melt chocolate.

Just make sure you heat your chocolate for 30 seconds at a time. You need to stir it in between so that your chocolate doesn’t burn and lose all of its quality and ingredients.

How can I ensure an even coating on each Oreo?

You just want to use a fork and then dip each cookie. When you are taking it out, you need to tap it a little on the side of the bowl to remove extra chocolate. And then add topping.
