The secret to perfect white chocolate dipped pretzels and Oreos. They are easy to make and are the perfect party snack. Don’t forget the sprinkles!
On my first attempt to make white chocolate-dipped pretzels and Oreos, I thought it would be a piece of cake. I mean, what’s so hard about putting some cookies into chocolate, right?
Then I gave it a shot and the white candy melts I used were wayyy too thick. The mixture pulled the cookies apart and didn’t coat evenly.
So I did what any rational person would do and consulted the internet. Thanks to the help of a forum, I learned that you need to thin that candy melts first.
Who knew!? Since it took me some investigative work to figure out how to make them, I thought I would share the ‘recipe’ with you here.

Hi Kelly – I will be trying your recipe for the white chocolate dipped oreos. However, since I’m a BEGINNER….what type of shortening should I use. HELP! I’m excited about trying the Oreos.
Happy Holidays to you!
Hi! If you’re in the US look for the Crisco brand – vegetable is what I use. Have fun!
Thank you Kelly for responding – yes I am in Cali…I asked because I wasn’t sure. And, I’m assuming I should use the regular shortening and NOT powder, right? Thank you for you help!
Correct! Look for this: http://m.crisco.com/products/all-vegetable-shortening-315. Not powdered.
How far in advance can you make these?? What’s the shelf life?
Thanks!
Hi Sara – Good question! The chocolate is quite hard so I don’t think it would be soggy at all. They should keep for several days in an airtight container. You might want to keep them in the fridge too!
what if your in a hurry
