Ingredients
12OREO cookies
½cupwhite candy melts
¼cupred candy melts
2Tablespoonsvegetable shortening or lard
Blue & White Star Sprinkles
Instructions
Prepare a baking tray with parchment or greaseproof paper for the candy-dipped Oreos to dry on.
Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe mug or bowl, along with a tablespoon of shortening, heating for 20 second at a time and stirring in between until you reach a smooth consistency.
Dip the Oreos halfway into the melted candy, pull out and let any excess candy drip off, then dip again.
Allow the white candy coating to dry - I found that by the time I was done the 12th cookie, the 1st cookie was dry.
Melt the red candy melts using the same method as step 2.
Using a spoon, drizzle the melted red candy over the white candy coating in straight stripes.
Allow to dry completely before serving or storing. We leave for 24hrs but they should be fully dry within about 20 minutes.
Notes
Will keep in an air-tight container for two weeks.
