I will tell you, my family did not share this opinion. They ate them all within a day or two.

You can easily make Chocolate dipped Oreo Cookies a week in advance. Store them at room temperature without any cover for a couple of days.

How Do You Store Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies?

As long as there isn’t anything perishable on the cookies, the chocolate-dipped cookie can sit out at room temperature for up to a couple of weeks. If you plan on storing them for a special occasion, you can cover them in an air-tight container and store them at room temperature.

Should I Refrigerate my Chocolate Dipped Treats?

I do not recommend refrigerating or freezing chocolate as condensation will become apparent on the chocolate.

Why does my hardened melted chocolate have white specks on it?

It sometimes happens and this is perfectly normal. It is called a sugar bloom. The cocoa butter in the chocolate has risen to the surface and settled. If you are using pure chocolate, you can temper it before working with it to avoid such spots.

Are you ready to make these cute Oreo Cookies for Valentine’s Day? Let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need…

  • Oreo Cookies
  • Red melting chocolate
  • sprinkles – for these I suggest Wilton’s heart sprinkles, and/or the white and red nonperil sprinkles
  • candy eyes

Additional Equipment Needed:

  • wax paper
  • glass microwave-proof bowl is recommended
  • microwave (if you don’t have a microwave, you can use a double broiler or a chocolate melting pot as an alternative)
