I rec'd five oreo molds from SpinningLeaf today in the mail so I decided to try them out whne I got home from Hell (aka my job). They work great, except the chocolate wafers I used melt incredibly fast. As soon as I picked up a cookie I was COVERED in melted chocolate. Obviously this in not the coating I would want to use if giving the cookies away...

So my question is this - What kind of chocolate does everyone use for these?

I have been using almond bark and they turn out great. I have bought it at Target and Wal-mart and it is really cheap. It tastes much better than the Wilton candy melts, and once it hardens, it does not melt onto your fingers. they have milk chocolate and white chocolate.

I've seen a few posts about this over in the candy section. Many recommend Guittards chocolate melts. They say you can use candy melts along with real chocolate for a richer flavor. By using melts with chocolate, you do not have to temper the real chocolate.
You first melt 1/3 of the candy melts, then add the real chocolate chips a little at a time.

I think it's just a local store. It's called Mr. Bulky's. Everything in bulk. Everything. Every spice, powder, flour, candy, rice, pasta, candy....every color, flavor, and type of everything it seems is in this store. They have huge bins of chocolate. You could just dive right in! LOL!

I've been using Guittard's. Everyone that eats them loves them.
