FAQ

Can I use regular chocolate?

You can, but candy melts give a smoother finish and set faster.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time without the decorations melting or smudging?

Yes, store the decorated Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature, and wait to add delicate sprinkles until just before serving if you want them extra fresh.
