FAQs
Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute with melted dark or milk chocolate if you prefer a richer flavor, though the white chocolate creates a nice “ornament” look.

Make sure to chill the coated Oreos in the refrigerator until the coating is set. Keeping them cool will help maintain the coating without melting.
