- 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
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
Touching up - (if needed)
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
