Ingredients
Scale
- 24 OREO cookies
- 1 cup orange candy melts
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate candy melts
- 1 tsp vegetable oil (optional, for smoothing melts)
- Wax paper or parchment paper for drying
Instructions
- Melt the orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Add vegetable oil if needed for consistency.
- Dip each OREO cookie halfway into the melted orange candy and place on wax paper to set slightly.
- Using a piping bag or small zip-top bag with a tiny corner cut, pipe thin lines of the dark chocolate candy melts onto the orange side of each cookie to mimic basketball lines: one vertical, two curved lines crossing it horizontally.
- Let the cookies sit at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until the candy coating has fully hardened.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
Notes
For extra flair, sprinkle edible gold dust lightly on the orange surface before the candy melts set for a shimmering basketball effect.
