Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white candy melts
- 12 Oreo Cookies
- 12 royal icing sheep heads
- 6 ounces marshmallow bits (Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits)
Instructions
- Melt Candy Coating: Pour the white candy melts into a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high power in 15-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the candy melts are completely smooth and melted.
- Dip Oreos: Using a dipping fork, dip each Oreo cookie into the melted candy coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Lift the cookie out and let the excess coating drip off.
- Set on Marshmallows: Place the dipped Oreo onto a pile of tiny marshmallows, which will help hold it in place and add texture to the coating.
- Add Sheep Heads: Gently press a royal icing sheep head onto the center of each coated Oreo cookie.
- Sprinkle Marshmallows: Sprinkle additional tiny marshmallow bits all over the coated cookie to create a fluffy, wool-like appearance.
- Dry Cookies: Allow the decorated Oreos to dry for a few minutes to set the coating partially, then transfer them carefully onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to finish drying completely.
- Repeat Process: Repeat the dipping, decorating, and drying steps for all 12 Oreos to complete your batch of Oreo Sheep treats.
Notes
- Use a dipping fork or clean fork to help lift Oreos from the melted candy without damaging the coating.
- If the candy melts start to thicken, reheat them gently in short bursts, stirring to maintain a smooth texture.
- Work quickly when sprinkling marshmallows to ensure they stick to the candy coating before it sets.
- Store the finished Oreo Sheep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
