These make such cute, easy and low cost party favours and look amazing too!

You could alternate colours for a colourful selection or even create a cool ombre effect! Another method is to dip half your Oreo cookie in to the chocolate, then let it set and then do the same with the other half. Repeat with your desired number of oreos before whipping up another bowl of melted chocolate in a different colour and doing the same using that batch. These would make amazing prizes or party favours!
