Preparation Phase: Essential Equipment and Ingredients
Ensure you've got all the necessary tools: a microwave or double boiler for melting chocolate, and of course, your favorite Oreos. When choosing chocolate, go for top-notch quality—whether dark, milk, or white—opt for something you'd enjoy munching on! We used Ghiradelli white chocolate chips and enhanced the white tone with our Choc Elite White Coloring (click here)!
Recipe Guide: Step-by-Step Process
Melting and Preparing the Chocolate Coating
To start, the chocolate must be smooth and luscious. Whether you're melting it in the microwave or over a double boiler, maintaining a temperature between 89-96 degrees Fahrenheit is key for tempered chocolate!
