  • Oreos

  • Piping bag or freezer bag

Step 2

Coat the bottom of each hole in a muffin pan or cookie mold with the melted red chocolate and spread evenly to create a smooth layer about 1/4" thick. Tap and shake the pan to remove any air bubbles. Allow the chocolate to harden, about five minutes, before placing an Oreo cookie on top of each hole.

Step 3

Put the remaining melted red chocolate in a piping bag (or freezer bag with the end snipped) and pipe first around the sides and then top of each Oreo to completely cover the cookies. Again, tap and shake the pan to remove any air bubbles and then place it in the freezer for ten minutes.

Step 4

While the cookies are in the freezer, roll out some white fondant and blue fondant. Use mini cookie cutters to cut out small circles from the white fondant, as well as tiny stars. Then use a smaller circle cutter (we actually used a water bottle cap) to hollow out the center of the circles so that they form white rings.

Use the same smaller circle cutter (or bottle cap) to cut out circles from the blue fondant. Remove the cookies from the freezer, and assemble the fondant circles and stars on top of each cookie, using a tiny bit of melted chocolate to adhere the shapes securely.

Things You'll Need

  • Cubed pineapple

  • Strawberries

  • Red apple
