How to Dip Oreo Balls in Chocolate
Submerging your Oreo balls in the chocolate can be tricky, these are a few hacks that help…
- When it comes to chocolate, Almond Bark melts into the perfect texture for dipping. But it doesn’t completely coat your balls because of their dark color.
- Sprinkles help cover any small flaws your chocolate dip didn’t hide.
- Try to use small portions of melted chocolate at a time, as your truffles might leave a few crumbles in your chocolate.
- Using two forks for the dipping is what works best. Place your ball on a fork and submerge it in the chocolate, then hold it up and let it drip off. With the help of another fork, carefully slide your ball into a cookie pan with parchment paper.
