Make your own gourmet treats with 
  • a box of Oreo cookies,
  • Wilton Candy Melts,
and 
  • some candy sprinkles!


 Melt Wilton Candy Melts according to directions
on the back of the package...
either in the microwave f(or approximately one minute),
or in a double boiler on the stove.

(Full instructions are on the back of the Wilton Candy Melts package.)


 I spooned melted candy on each individual Oreo.

Next time I will line up the Oreo cookies on a 
parchment paper-lined sheet,
and pour the melted candy over the top 
of all the Oreos at one time...
and then add candy sprinkles and decorations.



I found cute Trick or Treat bags and napkins
at the dollar stores. 







Have fun making, sharing and eating
this gourmet Oreo treat! 



Thanks for stopping by!
