Oreo Owls
Use M&Ms and candy melts to turn Oreo cookies into adorable owls!
Ingredients
- Oreo Cookies
- White Candy Melts
- M&Ms see note
Instructions
- To make eyebrows, separate a few Oreo cookies and scrape off the filling. Gently saw across the edge of the cookie to cut off a slice from either side. Cut each slice in half to make a set of eyebrows.
- Chop orange M&Ms in half to use as beaks.
- Place a small handful of candy melts in a plastic sandwich bag and melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Snip a *tiny* bit off one corner of the bag off to make a hole you can pipe the melted candy from.
- Use the melted candy to attach a two white candy melts on the front of each Oreo for eyes.
- Use the melted candy to attach an M&M to each eye for a pupil, and half an M&M below the eyes for a beak.
- Finally, use melted candy to attach the Oreo pieces above the eyes for eyebrows (wing tufts).
- Allow the cookies to set up for 10-15 minutes before moving.
Notes
I used brown M&Ms for the eyes and orange M&Ms for the beaks. If you do this, you'll be able to make about 15 Oreo owls using one 10 oz package of M&Ms. However, if you'd like to make more owls you can use yellow M&Ms for some of the beaks and green and blue M&Ms for some of the eyes.
