Chocolate Covered Oreos

(New York, )

I am making chocolate covered Oreos for my sister's wedding--it is now 2 weeks away. Can I start dipping the Oreos now??

How long will they stay fresh?

Hi Alison,

I think your chocolate dipped Oreos will be fine for 2 weeks. Keep them in an airtight container so they don't absorb any odors from things around them and in a cool dry location so that they aren't subject to temperature fluctuations.

Are you decorating them too? We'd love to see your finished wedding favors when you're done. Take a few photos and add them to the site!

Congrats!
Angie

Shelf Life of Chocolate Dipped Oreos NEW
by: Pam

How far in advance can I make chocolate covered Oreos, and what's the best way to store them safely?

How long can I safely store chocolate dipped Oreos to keep them fresh? Due to my schedule I am looking at making them about 3 weeks in advance.

Can I store them in the refrigerator all that time or should I freeze them? And how exactly (Ziploc bags, storage container, etc)?

Or are all out of the question. Please help soon!

Storing Oreos Dipped in Chocolate NEW
by: Angie

Hi Pam,

I moved your question over here to keep this discussion on the same page. It will help future visitors find the answer when they search without having to ask again and wait for a response. ;)

Unless it is absolutely too hot in your house to leave the chocolate Oreos at room temperature, that's exactly what I would do. When you put them in the fridge or freezer, you run the risk of discoloration from condensation, bloom, etc.

There is no reason why they shouldn't stay fresh for 3 or more weeks if they are kept in an airtight container at a moderate room temperature.

I'm in the tropics, so room temperature can be tricky, but for most people it should be ideal.

Like I mentioned to Alison above, just keep in mind that chocolate absorbs odors, so you don't want them stored next to anything with a strong smell (garlic, onions, scented candles, etc). :)

If you are making these Chocolate dipped Oreos for a special occasion and are planning to individually wrap them in little cellophane favor bags or something similar, you can go ahead and put them in their wrappers and then place them in an airtight container. That way you'll be completely finished ahead of the big day.

We'd love to see your finished chocolate Oreos! Add your photos and tell us about them when you've got them all done. Hope they turn out beautifully! :)
