OREO Cookie Shark Treats
Get the kids excited for Shark Week with these fun OREO cookie shark treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cookie mold
- 6 regular Oreo cookies
- 1 cup blue Wilton candy melts from a 12 oz bag
- 12 Wilton candy eyes
- Wilton white decorator icing
- 3 large blue Airhead candies
- 1 large red Air Head candy
- 2 large white Air Head candies Get an Airhead theater pack and it will have all of the colors
- Kitchen scissors
Instructions
- Heat the blue candy melts in a Wilton candy warmer or double boiler pan until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour 2 Tablespoons of the melted candy in each cookie mold.
- Place an Oreo cookie in each mold, on top of the melted chocolate.
- Pour additional melted blue candy on top of each cookie, up to the top of each mold. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- For the shark fins, cut out 18 (1 1/2 inch long) triangles from the blue Airheads. Set aside.
- Cut out 6 shark mouths from the red Airheads candy. You can make them any shape you like, just be sure to make them large enough to fit the shark teeth in them.
- Cut out 24-30 sharp teeth from the white Airheads candy. Apply a small amount of icing to the back of each tooth and place on the red mouth. Give each shark a few upper teeth and some bottom teeth. I used 4-5 teeth per mouth.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Gently pop out the chilled Oreos onto the cookie sheet.
- Pipe 2 dots of icing on each cookie and place the eyes on the icing. Press down gently.
- Pipe icing on the cookie where each mouth goes and gently lay the teeth-filled mouths over the icing. Press down gently.
- For the top shark fin, gather 6 of the blue triangles and gently bend the upper tip to the right. This will give the fins a slight curve. Apply icing across the bottom of each top fin and lay the top edge of the Oreos on top. Press down firmly.
- For the 6 left fins, apply icing across the bottom of each fin and attach to the left back edge of each Oreo cookie. Press down firmly. (If you would like a curve to the fins, stretch the tip of the triangle slightly down to the left).
- For the remaining 6 right fins, apply icing across the bottom of each fin and attach to the right back edge of each shark cookie. Press down firmly. (If you would like a curve to the fins, stretch the tip of the triangle slightly down to the right).
- Leave the shark cookies on the cookie sheet and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for everything to “set.”
- ENJOY!!
