Ingredients

1 package Oreos use your favorite!
2 (11-ounce) bags white chocolate melting wafers
Black decorating gel
24 brown miniature M&M’s
48 miniature marshmallows
Vegetable oil optional
24 lollipop sticks

US - Metric

Instructions

See note 1 below to decide which step to add the marshmallows.
Gently separate the Oreos by slowly twisting them apart. (Some will break. It’s okay; just try to be gentle.)
Separate the white candy melts into 3 parts (this is to keep it from getting hard while you decorate) and place each section in a microwave-safe bowl.
To make the chocolate easier to work with, add about 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil to each section of chocolate (you can add more later if needed to thin it even more).
Melt in 20 second bursts in the microwave (microwave 20 seconds, stir 20 seconds, etc.). Be patient when melting and stir well between bursts to avoid burning the chocolate.
Dip one end of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and press that side into the cream side of the Oreo.
Place the other half of the Oreo on top and gently press and hold.
Place the Oreo on top of a fork over the bowl of melted chocolate. Use a spoon to spoon chocolate over the Oreo.
Shake the fork gently on the edge of the bowl until the chocolate forms an even layer.
Set aside on a sheet of parchment paper.
Add 2 marshmallows to the top and hold to secure. Press a white candy melt on the Oreo, and using melted white chocolate, attach the mini M&M to that candy melt.
Allow the chocolate to mostly harden (or harden all the way if you want the eyes to stand out more), then pipe on 2 dots for eyes.

Notes

Note 1: In the video, I add the mini marshmallow "ears" before dipping in chocolate to keep them fresh. However, I found it easier to add them after dipping. If making these in advance, dip the marshmallows to keep them soft.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
