  • Prepare the bows: Melt your chosen candy melts colors and pour into bow molds. Wipe the edges for a neat finish and chill until set.
  • Melt the majority of your dark green candy melts using a double boiler or melting pot. Keep the heat low to prevent seizing.

  • Dip each chilled square into the melts, using a fork to remove and tap off excess. Place back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sanding sugar or other decorations immediately. Repeat this process with 5-6 squares for each melt color.

  • Pour the reserved melts into separate piping bags. Microwave on a low setting, massaging the bags every minute to ensure even heating.
  • Cut a small tip off each bag and drizzle over your squares to form ribbons, then immediately add a mini bow on top.

  • Allow the coating to set completely before serving. Refrigerating can speed up this process.

Notes

  • Stick to regular cream-filled Oreos for the right consistency. Avoid Double Stuf or Mega Stuf versions.
  • For a single flavor, use 44 Oreos and a full 8 oz of cream cheese. Mix and match candy melt colors for a vibrant look.
  • A double boiler or melting pot ensures smooth, consistent melting. If microwaving, use a low setting and stir frequently.
  • Sanding sugar and sprinkles are optional but add a festive touch.
  • Silicone mini bow molds are available online if not found locally.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
