These make such cute, easy and low cost party favours and look amazing too! To make these, try melting some batches of white cooking chocolate and mix in a tiny amount of food colouring to each, before encasing them in chocolate in a special tray - layer some chocolate in each of the moulds before gently pressing an Oreo in to each, then carefully cover it with a little more chocolate until the Oreo is completely submerged, then smooth over the top and pop in the fridge to set, once each mould is filled.
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!

Opt for small pieces to ensure they flow straight out of the cake when it is sliced - or for younger guests try sprinkles, like hundreds of thousands!
