# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like crushed Oreos mixed with cream cheese, which honestly means they taste like a dream.
  • Kids will actually help you make these without complaint, and that's rare.
  • You can prep them ahead and keep them in the fridge, so holiday hosting gets easier.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is cold, your dough will be lumpy no matter how much you stir—every single time I skip letting it soften, I regret it immediately.
  • The freezing step is not optional; warm dough will slide right off the stick and into your chocolate bowl, and cleaning that up is nobody's idea of fun.
03 -
  • Candy melts are worth buying specifically for this—they melt smoother than real chocolate and won't seize up on you mid-dip.
  • If your white chocolate gets too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil and stir gently over low heat to loosen it back up.
