I can't keep them around long enough to do them!! How do you people do it! I am afraid to buy 2 packages for fear my kids and I will go thru both. With 6 weeks left in my pregnancy I can't afford to gain another "oreo" pound. Life is sooo tough

I have been experimenting with these for a few days already trying to decide which chocolate I like the best, and I have to say, that I have kept them all to myself!!! This is my little secret in my house right now.... if my 2 liitle girls only knew!!!!
I finally tried them today for the first time and half the bag was eaten by my kids (4 girls) and DH. Then after I made them I had them setting one the wax paper and every time I'd go back to check there would be another empty space where I had one. There's no way I could possibly try this for profit. It's hard enough making cakes and cookies but then chocolate covering something...................forget it.
So funny!!!
I made these for the first time for Easter to take to family gatherings and had them out on wax paper too. I walked in the kitchen and noticed some missing oreos..... 
It wasn't too hard to spot the culprit.... 
I walked in the livingroom to see my 3 year old trying to act normal by watching tv...but the huge chocolate ring around her mouth gave her away!!!
Needless to say, these were a definite hit with everyone!
The Baker's chocolate disks are my favorite! They have them in the baking isle at all of the grocery stores I go to. They might be a little too soft, but taste the best. I also bought chocolate for almond bark. It is a huge solid bar of chocolate, and it is for melting. It was pretty good and not too hard or too soft. It comes in white chocolate also. I found it at supertarget on sale for $1.48 for 20 ounces!! Can you believe that! now that I have tasted it, I am going to go buy a bunch more. It is sold where the choc. chips are sold.
Just an idea -
You can add toppings to the oreos before they dry - M&Ms, coconut shavings, peanut butter chips, drizzle a contrasting color chocolate on them for the look of it, add some sprinkles...they're more calories but everything in moderation, right?
i use molds to make mine, i add a bit of crisco or even better paramount crystals. Super smooth chocolate and easy to dip and work with. I do use molds for mind which is also easier for me. I place them in the freezer and my oldest son (the only who eats them) doesn't even notice. They are a BIG hit at work, everyone seem to love them. I can't help you giving you suggestions to stay away, i love oreos too. I am able to hide and keep the cookies from my kids. I buy them the cheaper store brand for them and have enough of both.
But i think i'm at the point that i can't eat anymore of my sweets.
I used the white chocolate bark that Marcy11 is talking about and they set up a lot quicker and were easy to bite through.. I'm going to try the chocolate one next time. I had done the hershey's milk chocolate chips and added some vegetable oil but really didn't like the taste or how hard it got.
I couldn't believe how inexpensive the bark was either............and you get a lot of it.
I have made the chocolate oreos in the molds and absolutely love 'em. I also purchased some boxes that were supposed to be for chocolate oreos and I think dipped oreos would fit in it. However, the molded oreos are slightly too large to fit in the packaging.
Does anyone have suggestions for packaging these?
