Oreo Cookie Frogs
I love simple treats. When you are ready to have some kitchen fun with the kids, easy treats are always the best way to go.
I made these treats with chocolate melts used as the glue to hold parts together. The melted chocolate hardens to form a nice secure hold between the cookie and the other moving parts.
If you don’t want to mess with melting chocolate, you could easily substitute frosting or peanut butter. I don’t think the hold would be as good as chocolate would be, but it should work well enough.

Can I Make Oreo Cookie Frogs Ahead of Time?
- Yes. These Oreo Cookie Frogs can be made up to 1 week in advance. Store Cookie Frogs at room temperature in an airtight container
How Long will Oreo Cookie Frogs Last?
- Oreo Cookie Frogs should be stored at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks
How Do I Melt Chocolate Melts?
- Microwave method – Chocolate melts can be placed in a microwave proof glass bowl for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. If needed, add the chocolate for 30 more seconds.
- Wilton Melting Pot method – This will take the longest time to melt the chocolate. Simply place chocolate melts into the pot and turn it on to melt the candy. Stir occasionally until smooth
- Double Boiler method – Place an oven proof bowl (wider than the saucepan) over a saucepan. The bowl should not directly touch the water. Allow space between water and bowl, so the chocolate is not over direct heat. Simmer water in the saucepan. Constantly stir chocolate until it is smooth
