Ingredients
Method
🔵 Blue Oreos with White Sprinkles
Start by melting most of the blue candy melts using a double boiler or microwave (heat in short bursts, stirring often).Dip one Oreo at a time into the melted blue coating, making sure it’s fully covered. Lift it out using a fork, gently tap off the excess, and place it on a parchment-lined tray.Immediately sprinkle white nonpareils on top before the coating sets. Repeat for about a third of the cookies, then chill in the fridge until firm.🔴 Red Oreos with White Drizzle
Melt the red candy melts the same way as before.Coat each Oreo completely in red chocolate, let the excess drip off, and arrange them on the tray with a bit of space between each cookie.Next, melt a small amount of white wafers and transfer to a piping bag. Snip the tip and drizzle thin white lines over the red-coated cookies.Refrigerate until the coating hardens.⚪ White Oreos with Red & Blue Drizzle
Melt the remaining white wafers until smooth.Dip the Oreos, coat fully, and place them on the tray.Melt the leftover red and blue melts separately, place them into piping bags, and drizzle over the white-coated cookies. Get creative—zigzag, stripes, or both!Chill again until everything sets nicely.Notes
