Buyermam, properly stored, they should last 6 to 8 weeks. But being for a wedding you would want absolute freshness. I would do them at least four days ahead maximum. to guarantee crispness of the oreo after dipping.
There are many varied views on this, but my wife packages them in a clear bag and ties a little ribbon around them, for ladies bake day, with her cupcakes.
That is a question best left to: SCIENCE! Experimental Design: 6 Oreos, two glasses of milk. One glass will be filled with regular Skim milk, the other with chocolate milk made from syrup. The first two oreos will be dipped in one of the two solutions for a time of 15 seconds, the next two 30 seconds, the last two 45 seconds. Observations: Regular Chocolate Trial #1 (15s) Still a little crunchy " " Trial #2 (30s) Regular The inside was pretty gooey. Outside very soggy. Chocolate Same as regular Trial #3 (45s) Regular I would say this tastes the same as the 30s trial Chocolate Ditto Conclusion: I must conclude that the absorbency rate is approximately equivalent. I could not taste any difference. Next time, I'm going to lower my time limits for the trials. 45 seconds is a long time to wait when you're holding a delicious cookie. Maybe you are seeing a slower absorbency rate because you make your chocolate solution thicker? The more viscous a fluid is the harder it is to absorb, you know. Adding chocolate might noticibly slow down absorbency times if you make it very potently. I would also predict a slower rate if you used 1% or 2% milk. Anyway, thank you for giving me an excuse to eat cookies in the name of science. @Lyra They get really soggy after the first 30ish seconds. I held them using three fingers so they wouldn't skoosh on me. They smoosh really easily, but they don't flat out dissolve. They're surprisingly tough for a cookie. It helps they have that rock-hard exterior. I think the cookie portion is made out of chocolate crumbs and wood glue.
I stash things like that for Christmas gifting starting now that Halloween is over. I let the chocolate dry thoroughly then put them in gallon size zip lock bags and freeze them until 6 hours before serving or packing. Spread them out on cookie sheets or serving trays so they don't get moist.
I already have choco dipped pretzels in freezer! ordered peanut butter ritz cookies in todays grocery list. do them tomorrow. Baking in mean time so everything except the chocolate covered cherries is in freezer before I start doing Thanksgiving Feast Cooking.
Sounds yummi!! I want some... will you save soem for me?
Well... biscuits last a couple fo days right? so id say if you make them maybe 1 or two days, and hten keep them in a selaed bag, they should be fine :)
