12 cookies
These no-bake Polar Bear Oreo cookies are perfect for a kids holiday-themed party! They're done in under an hour, and require just 5 simple ingredients.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 chocolate double stuffed Oreo cookies
- 36 M&M’s
- 10-ounce bag white melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 24 small edible eye candy
Instructions
- Prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place two M&M candies at the top of each Oreo, in between the cookies and into the filling to form your polar bear ears. Do this for all 12 Oreo cookies and place each cookie on the parchment paper.
- Add the melting wafers to a large bowl, reserve 12 wafers for the polar bear nose and set aside. Next, place that bowl over a stovetop pot containing 3-4 inches of water. Bring water to a boil, creating a double boiler.
- Stir the wafers frequently using a rubber spatula as the chocolate melts. Add the shortening and continue to stir until the chocolate is smooth, silky, and fully melted. When done, remove from heat.
- Using two forks or dipping tools, dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Be sure to cover the M&M candies as well.
- Place each chocolate covered Oreo on parchment paper and immediately add one white wafer to the bottom center of each Oreo creaking the bear’s snout.
- Add a small dollop of white melting chocolate to each M&M’s (the M&M printed side) and place in the center of the white wafer, creating the bear’s nose.
- Place two eye candies above the white wafer. Repeat this process for all polar bear cookies.
- Place in the refrigerator and allow to cool and harden for an additional 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use whatever colors you want for the polar bear’s nose. Blue and brown may be the most realistic. Be sure to select the nose colors first before sandwiching the ears inside the cookie.
- You must use double-stuffed Oreos for this recipe. The M&M’s used for ears cannot be sandwiched in using regular-sized Oreos.
- Coat Well! When coating the polar bears & ears in melted chocolate, move the Oreo cookie side to side and up and down, inviting the chocolate to move around the ears and into the space between the cookie, cream, and ears. Do this slowly.
