Oreo Chicks
Recipe from www.brownpaper--packages.com

ITEMS YOU NEED:

• Double Stuf Oreos
• Yellow Candy Melts OR white chocolate chips & yellow food coloring
• Pretzel sticks
• Mini chocolate chips
• Orange candy melts OR white chocolate chips & orange food coloring

DIRECTIONS:

1. Melt the yellow candy melts according to package directions. Or, melt white chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Add yellow food coloring and stir well.

2. Dip Oreos into the chocolate, using whatever means necessary. :) I ended up just holding one end with my fingers, dipping it in to cover most of it, then using a spoon to coat the rest. Lay them out on a piece of aluminum foil.

3. Use the mini chocolate chips for eyes, and break the pretzels into small pieces for the legs. I placed the pretzels into the middle of the cookie when they were still wet. I did have a couple fall out, so I just dipped them into the chocolate and stuck them back on.

4. You can do a couple of things for the orange beak. You can use orange candy melts, or melt white chocolate chips and add orange food coloring. I actually used some white buttercream frosting that I had, and used food coloring to get the color I wanted. Whatever you decide to use, place it in a small sandwich bag, and push into one of the corners. Snip a *tiny* piece of off the corner, and pipe on the beak.

5. Let dry completely, then EAT!!
