Ingredients & Supplies
- 1 package of red candy melts
- 1/2 package of yellow candy melts
- 1 package of double stuffed oreos
- Cookie sheet/baking pan
- Parchment paper or reusable non-stick silicon baking mat
- Double boiler
- Disposable piping bag
Directions
Add water into the bottom pot of a double boiler.
Tip: You can create the same double boiler effect using a saucepan with a metal bowl on top. Parents, please handle this step for your kids and remember that both the pot and bowl will be extremely hot.
Once water in bottom pot is simmering, add the red candy melts into the top pot or bowl. Stir gently to make sure candy melts evenly.
Once red chocolate is melted, it’s time to dip your Oreo cookies. Place an Oreo in the melted red candy and turn with a fork to coat the entire surface. Remove cookie from chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, and place on cookie sheet.
Tip: Chopsticks also work very well for the candy coating process.
Repeat steps until all candy melt is gone.
While red-coated Oreos are drying, clean out the top pot/bowl of the double boiler. Melt yellow candy and add to piping bag.
Cut tip of piping bag to allow for thin frosting. Use the piping bag to draw yellow lightning bolts on top of your red Oreos.
Allow Oreos to rest until chocolate has completely hardened. Enjoy!
