Recipe Tips:

• Thin Out The Chocolate. If your melted chocolate looks and feels too thick, simply stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil. Both are good options since they are flavorless. 
• Candy Melts or Chocolate Wafers. White almond bark, candy melts or Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers can be used for coating these chocolate covered oreos instead of chocolate chips. If you do use candy melts or wafers, it’s unlikely that you will need to add in any oil while melting the chocolate to achieve a smooth consistency since these product options don’t usually contain stabilizers as an ingredient, enabling them to melt much better into a smooth consistency without the aid of oil. 
• Use Tweezers. Using a pair of clean craft tweezers will make it much easier to apply any decorative edible pearls or sprinkles. It’s also a great way to ensure a precise placement of the edible decoration but this is totally optional. 
• Sprinkles!! While you could leave your chocolate coated Oreos plain, if you do add sprinkles, make sure to do so when the chocolate is still wet so that they have a chance to stick adequately to the Oreos. 
• High-quality Chocolate. Always use a high quality chocolate when coating your Oreos. This can apply to any chocolate-covered treat. You will always get smoother melted chocolate results when using a good quality chocolate!
• Chocolate Melting Method. I prefer melting chocolate over a double boiler since microwaving chocolate (although still an option) has a greater risk of burning chocolate and once burnt, there’s no going back - you’ll have to throw the chocolate away and start from the beginning. 
• Leftover Chocolate. If you have any leftover melted chocolate, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It can be melted again using the double boiler method when you want to make an extra batch of these Valentine’s Day chocolate covered Oreos or to coat or decorate other sweet treats.
