Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies

- 1/4 cup black candy melts
- 1/4 cup red candy melts

- Using a piping bag or small spoon, create Mickey Mouse ear shapes on the sides of each white-coated Oreo using the black candy melts.
- Melt red candy melts in another microwave-safe bowl, following the same melting technique as previous steps.
- Add a small red candy melt accent to create Mickey's signature shorts or bow details.
- Use mini chocolate chips to create eyes, carefully placing two chips on each cookie face.
- Refrigerate the decorated Oreos for 10 minutes to allow all decorations to set completely.
- Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, opt for high-quality Oreo cookies and chocolate melts. This will ensure your cookies taste as good as they look!
- Melting Chocolate: When melting the white chocolate chips and candy melts, be patient and stir frequently. This prevents the chocolate from burning and helps achieve a smooth consistency.
- Piping Technique: If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off to create the Mickey Mouse ears and other details. This makes it easy to control the flow of the melted candy.
- Cooling Time: Allow the white chocolate-coated Oreos to set at room temperature for a few minutes before decorating. This will help the decorations adhere better and prevent them from sliding off.
- Creative Variations: Feel free to get creative! You can use different colors of candy melts for various themes or occasions, or even add sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. If stacking them, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Serving Suggestions: These cookies are perfect for parties, but they also make great gifts! Package them in a cute box or bag for a delightful homemade treat.With these tips in mind, you’re all set to create your own batch of Mickey Mouse Oreo Cookies that are sure to impress!
