easy oreo pigs ingredients
- 16 Oreo cookies
- 4 ounces pink candy melts (or use white candy melts and add pink candy coloring)

- 16 pink Starburst fruit chews (or use pink salt water taffy)

instructions to make easy oreo pigs
Step 1
Unwrap the pink taffy.
Step 2
Heat each individual piece in the microwave on the defrost setting for 7-12 seconds, just enough to soften the candy.
Step 3
Cut the candy in half. Roll one half into a ball then into a flat oval for the pig’s snout. Cut the other piece in half and shape it into two triangles for the pig’s ears. Using the back of a wooden skewer, make two indentations on the pink oval for the nostrils. Then use the pointed end of the skewer to create the indentation in the ears.
Step 4
Pour the pink candy melts into a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat at a high power for 20-second increments, stirring after each, until melted.
Step 5
Use a spatula or knife to spread a thin layer of pink candy coating over each Oreo cookie and decorate each cookie immediately.
NOTE: If you prefer, you can dip the entire cookie in the candy coating, but you’ll need 8-12 ounces in order to do that.
Step 6
While the candy coating is wet, set two candy eyes on the cookie, then add a snout.
Step 7
Pop the cookie in the freezer for 3-5 minutes until the candy hardens.
Step 8
Use some of the melted candy coatings to attach two ears to each cookie.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes, then draw on a smile using a black food coloring marker.
