I'm in a time crunch and I was wondering if I make chocolate covered oreos in the next couple of days and then I freeze them for valentine's day, will they be ok? and how do I thaw them??

Thank you.

Anyone?

You shouldn't be freezing chocolate at all.

Thank you, I guess I'll have to buy more molds to make it quicker since there are only five per mold.

Has anybody tried making the on the mini muffing pan?

The mini muffin pan would be to small, you could try a regular muffing pan. Spinning leaf molds have 6 cavities each, and they are good quality molds, I would get several of those.

You could very easily mold them now, place them in an airtight container, and put them in the fridge. They'll keep just fine. If you're worried about absorption of food smells, place the cookies in freezer bags before placing them in the containers. These cookies have a very long shelf life!

why do you think they'll go bad in just a couple of days? Geesh, do you know how long those cookies sit in pantries (and in warehouses) all over america?

I don't recommend freezing or refrigerating these. The temp change will cause condensation and possibly discolor your finished product. Putting them in an airtight container out of direct light and heat is a good idea, but no freezer or frig.

They will last a good while that way. If you doubt that, just make a run to all the stores that have been selling V-day candy since the day after Christmas!!

I wanted to start making them today for valentines day, but I guess you're right, I can just keep the in the fridge.


here is a tutorial that I found:

Do not refrigerate your choc covererd Oreos. They are FINE at room temp or cool room temp. I have some from before Christmas and they are fine. Their shelf life is 6 months, easy. Just refer to the expiry date on the bag of cookies.

6 months??? great news, I can't wait to see how they turn out, I will also be making chocolate covered pretzels and cookies with Antonia's icing.

You can even sit them out on a plate or just in a loosly covered container. Once the cookie is dipped / molded with choc it stays fresh for weeks. The choc outside keeps the cookie fresh underneath with no problem.
My family loves these and I make them and just sit them on a plate or just in an open container on my pantry shelf and they stay fresh for a very very long time ! I will be making some for v/day this week also ! Not to worry !!

Ditto what Leahs said. I have some from Christmas (made them weeks before) and they are still fine. I kept them in an airtight container,seperated the layers by parchment.

This really caught my eye - I've never heard of dipping oreos in chocolate. Is this regular chocolate or white chocolate?

I've heard of dipping ritz crackers with peanut butter (sandwiches) in white chocolate and its awesome but i'm surprised oreos need anything - they are awesome alone.

And 2x as awesome dipped in choc LOL!! You can use any flavor choc you want .
I also dip the ritz crackers .. Yummy to!

indydebi Spinning leaf molds Are the best I think even if they cost slightly more. Yes they do taste like Girl Scout thin mints, I love girl scout cookies!

Indy :: you don't like Thin Mints, or Samoas or Tagalongs? I'm pretty sure I'll need to turn you in to Homeland Security, because that's un-American.

OTOH, more for me.

I'll rather eat a bowl of fruits than oreos, I may eat one or two, but that's all I can handle. My DS can eat a whole package in a day, that's why I don't buy then that often.

I might be able to gag down ONE mint but that is it .... and don't make me do more than one a year.

Oh Love them, makes me want to go pull a box out of my freezer !

So am I the only one who likes chocolate best when it's cold? We always put the covered Oreos, candy bars, etc. in the fridge. (My parents preferred their candy bars in the freezer, but I never liked how hard the Milky Ways got!) I've never had a problem with the chocolate discoloring. Hmmm.

Now, you give me milk chocolate with almonds and that's another story, I remeber eat in a bag a day of hersheys kisses with almonds!!

I don't like Oreos unless they are dipped in chocolate. They will definitely be fine until Valentine's Day...if you don't eat them all yourself before then. Good luck!

Gemini- my family likes frozen candy bars and we love the Hersheys kisses after they have been chilled. I have never tried the dipped oreos, but now I want to.

frozen m&m's are great too!! does anyone know if you can color milk chocolate black with candy color? I have someone who wants pink and black oreos, but does not only want to use white chocolate. She wants some milk chocolate as well. Do you think that would work?
