Equipment

  • a small glass microwave-proof bowl
  • wax paper
  • a small bowl of water
  • Fork
  • toothpick

Materials

  • 18 baked cupcakes frosted with white frosting
  • 18 Oreo cookies
  • 12 oz. White chocolate melts 12 oz. should be plenty for 18 dozen Oreo cookies
  • 18 regular sized marshmallow - not giant
  • 3 oz. red sugar crystal sprinkles

Instructions

White Chocolate Cookies

  • Set out some wax paper on your countertop
  • Melt the chocolate melts
  • *I usually place the melts into a microwave-proof glass bowl and set the microwave for 1 minute. I stir the chocolates and usually have to put them back in for another 30 seconds. Stir until smooth
  • Place an Oreo Cookie into the melted chocolate - use a fork to push it under the melted chocolate (flip it around if necessary)
  • Place the fork under the cookie  pull the cookie up to the side of the bowl and tap off any excess chocolate
  • Set the cookie onto the wax paper to dry

Marshmallows

  • Dip both ends of your marshmallow into the bowl of water to wet the marshmallow at the top and bottom - leaving the middle of the marshmallow dry
  • Here's another way of wetting the marshmallow: Using your paintbrush, paint on the water where you would like to see your red stripes
  • Dip one end of the wet marshmallow into a bowl of red sugar crystals so that it covers 1/3 of the marshmallow
  • Sprinkle red sugar on the bottom part of the marshmallow making one more red stripe around the bottom
  • Set the marshmallow down to dry
  • *only the top of the marshmallow needs sprinkles. The bottom will not show

2 Ways of Placing the Marshmallow onto the Cookie

  • Melted Chocolate - Place melted chocolate onto the center of the chocolate covered cookie
  • Frosting - dab some frosting onto the top center of the cookie to hold the marshmallow in place

Touching up - (if needed)

  • Take off any stray red sugar with a clean wet paintbrush

Notes

Storing - These cupcakes will stay fresh for about 2 days if covered and stored at room temperature
  • *There is no need to cover the bottom side of the marshmallow in red sugar as that will be placed on top of the cookie
