SUPPLIES NEEDED

• 12 double-stuffed Oreos
• 3 T solid shortening
• 1 cup Wilton red chocolate melts
• 1 cup Wilton white chocolate melts
• 1 cup Wilton dark blue chocolate melts
• Red, white and blue sprinkles, nonpareils and jimmies
• 3 Oreo cookie molds (6 on each sheet)

DIRECTIONS

1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
2. In a double boiler pan, melt 1 tablespoon solid shortening.
3. Add white chocolate melts to the shortening and stir until completely melted.
4. Pour 2 T of the melted chocolate into each mold to cover the bottom entirely.
5. Place an Oreo into each mold, on top of the melted chocolate.
6. Using a Tablespoon, pour additional melted chocolate on top of the Oreo until the mold is full. Set aside remaining melted chocolate for later.
7. Refrigerate for one hour.
