  • 1 12oz bag Wilton royal blue candy melts
  • White nonpareils

Instructions

  • Line baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.

  • Melt another package of white melting wafers. Dip Oreos into the white melts, remove excess, and place on the baking tray, spaced out. Melt the remaining red and blue wafers in separate piping bags and drizzle over the white Oreos. Repeat for 8-10 Oreos. Place in the refrigerator to set.
  • Keep the prepared Oreos in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to melt the wafers over low heat to avoid seizing. Never add liquid to candy melts.
  • You can add 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening per 12-ounce bag of Wilton brand candy melts.
  • You can use any flavor of Oreos you desire, even Golden Oreos. You can also use regular, Double Stuf, or Mega Stuf varieties.
  • Storing: These treats can be made ahead of time and will last 7-10 days stored at room temperature in an airtight container. For longer storage, keep in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
