とろける is a verb meaning 'to melt' (often used for cheese or chocolate), but 口どけ is a noun focusing on the mouthfeel of that melting process.
Standard and most common spelling; uses どけ in kana to avoid kanji ambiguity.
Also used, with 溶 explicitly conveying 'melting'; less common than 口どけ.
Irregular kanji usage; 解 is not standard for this meaning and may cause confusion.
Compound of 口 (mouth) and 溶け (melting), with the second element often written in kana as どけ. The spelling 口解け is considered irregular.
