Sparkly Colored Oreos – Hive and Nest

Colored Oreos are an adorable party treat. Think of the theme possibilities! Pink and purple for a princess party. Red and blue for a Superman party. Light blue and brown for a boy baby shower. Green for St. Patrick’s Day. Oooh, my imagination is running wild!

These are white chocolate covered Oreos. . . that aren’t white. And that’s not actually chocolate they’re dipped in; it’s called “candy coating” and these cookies are covered with sparkly sanding sugar too. Definitely a show-stopper of a cookie, whatever it’s called! I’m going to show you how to make them.

Not only are these fun and yummy, they are easy to make. Like, seriously easy. And they can be made a couple of weeks in advance. I love doing everything I can for parties way ahead of time. I’m always running behind on party days and am so relieved when I’ve already gotten stuff done.

You can color about 18-22 sandwich cookies with one bag of candy melts. It’s not very scientific, though. Some people skimp on the chocolate and others don’t. If you are planning on making vast amounts of these for a wedding reception or something similar, you ought to experiment with quantities first. Here’s what you need:

Oreos Colored candy coating (available in the cake decorating aisle of most craft stores)

Colored sanding sugar (also in the cake decorating aisle. But you might have to get certain colors online or at a cake decorating supply shop)
