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
 

  • 1.   Heat the blue candy melts in a Wilton candy warmer or double boiler pan until completely melted and smooth.
  • 2.   Pour 2 Tablespoons of the melted candy in each cookie mold.
  • 3.   Place an Oreo cookie in each mold, on top of the melted chocolate.
  • 4.   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.
  • 5.   For the shark fins, cut out 18 (1 1/2 inch long) triangles from the blue Airheads. Set aside.
  • 6.   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.
  • 7.   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.
  • 8.   Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Gently pop out the chilled Oreos onto the cookie sheet.
  • 9.   Pipe 2 dots of icing on each cookie and place the eyes on the icing.  Press down gently.
  • 10. Pipe icing on the cookie where each mouth goes and gently lay the teeth-filled mouths over the icing.  Press down gently.
  • 11.  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.
  • 12. 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).
  • 13.  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).
  • 14.  Leave the shark cookies on the cookie sheet and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for everything to "set."
  • 15.  ENJOY!!
