You have to use the wilton colors that are specifically designed for coloring chocolate, otherwise your candy melts will sieze up.

I have done chocolate transfers using white candy melts and wilton paste colors without my chocolate seizing up. I do add crisco which keeps it smooth.

I read this thread a while back when it started and wanted to try "Oreo dipping". I didn't really have the supplies I needed so I was winging it. I used cupcake papers and cupcake pan. I put a little chocolate in the bottom, pushed the cookie in and topped it off to cover. I chilled them and then took off the paper. It was a really neat look. Much like a Reese cup with the ridges on the edge. oh and yummy too!

When you stick the candy molds on top of the dipped oreo, how do you get it to stay? frosting?

A little dab of melted chocolate will make it stick.

I JUST GOT MY MOLDS TODAY...2 DAYS AFTER I ORDERED.I TOO, GOT A FREE MOLD.THEY ARE THE BEST.A LITTLE HIGH BUT THEY DO LOOK LIKE A HEAVY DUTY MOLD.CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THEM OUT.
DON'T REMEMBER WHO POSTED IT BUT THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO.
HAPPY ST.PADDY'S DAY TO ALL.
AND THAT'S NO BLARNEY

If you use a candy mold on top of a molded oreo, you can use some melted chocolate to help it stay in place.

I haven't been able to order the molds yet, so I went to Michaels and found the daisy and flower molds there. I wanted to try it out before I bought the expensive ones. The mold was in the soap mold section, and it wasn't quite like the ones on 3Dmolds because there are made by LifeOfTheParty. But they were the firmer plastic molds and it had 5 cavities on it, but only 2 were round and were perfect for the oreos. I made them and my 16 year old promptly approved (boy can that kid eat!). Since I had the 40% off coupon the mold was only $1.67, but again only 2 cavities were for oreos, the others were square and rectangle.

I hope to order from 3D soon now that I know these are soooo easy to do.
I learn so many cool things from this site! Thanks for sharing

I'm sad, i still have not received mine. i ordered them last wk.

katskakes, they are probably back-logged because of all the people from this web-site ordering molds!

Found another reason to love the molds this afternoon -- When I opened the cookie bag, a third of the cookies were broken, cracked, or otherwise not in good shape for dipping, but worked well in the molds.

I Recieved my molds today. They sent me an extra mold as a freebie. i ordered the apple blossom and ribbon (for a sids fundraier in April) and i got the heart free. i'm sure that will come in useful at valentine's day. maybe white chocolate and pink hearts....I ordeed less than a week ago so i didn't think that was too bad. they charged 8.25 in shipping was a little high, but at least i got a free mold out of it

Yup Doug, they are big enough. I noticed the wafer cookie would fit in the rectangle nicely . And you're right, every chocoholic at work had no problem with the sweetness!

I can't wait to order mine. Good thread!

Just a quick question....
I have been doing chocolates forever and can't seem to get these to pop out of the molds easily. This first batch I didn't thin the chocolate but am I nuts - I have to sort of push them out which mars the fronts...

Anybody have a tip?

(BTW< love the molds from 3Dmolds - came fast!)

Thanks

I lay a clean dish cloth on the counter, flip the molds over and bang them on the dish cloth. They come out easily and the dishcloth keeps them from getting marked up, HTH.

Make sure the chocolate is completely set. They pop out best when they are COLD. HTH.

Just thought I'd add another compliment for 3dmolds.com (now www.spinningleaf.com). I am absolutely thrilled with them. In the comments section of the checkout, I asked them to please include the big heart mold as my free mold, and ta-da! They came through on it! I was totally expecting them to just give me whatever mold was most available but they actually did what I had asked! LOL The shock of excellent customer service! Heehee.

I also ordered from choklitmolds.com and countrykitchensa.com; very pleased with both orders as well!

See I learned something else............and found something else I need to buy now. I just LOVE the cookie molds.

wow i just read through all 11 pages of this thread and learned something new on every page.

this is why i cove cakecentral!

somehow i will convince my parents the $6 per mold is not too expensive i love the spinningleaf website (very clean and well organized) and all the great things i've heard about their customer service really makes me want to buy some molds now!!! the pawprint ones are adorable

yay! i just ordered some from one stop candle and i can't wait for them to come so i can get started!!

I bought some really cute molds from candylandcrafts.com and made my first fancy oreos and they were a hit. They sell the molds for $1.99 each but I could only find one cute set. They have a flower, butterfly and lips. I posted pics of the coookies I made with them.

Such great info in this thread. I am getting some molds as soon as possible!!

Angie

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've never thought to do this but am now so encouraged. I can't wait! Thanks for all the good info. Hadn't even heard of this in TN. Thanks again you guys for sharing!

Please will someone tell me what all the fuss is about chocolate covered Oreo cookies.

Doesn't Nabisco already make these?

(Please don't flame me, I really just don't get it. Seriously - I don't get it! In my mind I might as well just buy the cake at the grocery store also and bring it home to decorate it the same as these cookies. Honestly, I don't get what the fuss is about.) I'm so confused.

Thank you Doug and Jescapades for your quick reply. I do understand your point about decorating, but they are still Oreo's! Such a nasty little thing it shouldn't even be called a cookie! Might as well decorate a piece of cardboard.

Sooooooo I still just don't get it. Maybe I should pick up some Twinkies and make a wedding cake out of 'em. Can any of you on this thread convince me to eat one of those nasty little cookies? (Even if it is beautifully decorated?) I don't get it..........

She shakes her head and walks away, because nobody could convince her to eat one.........
