Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 10 ounces Black Candy Melts, (melted or semi-sweet chocolate melted and tempered)
- 8 Oreo Cookies
- 8 vanilla wafer cookies
Instruction
- Pour the melted candy coating or melted and tempered semi-sweet chocolate into a small shallow bowl.
- Dip an Oreo into the chocolate, lift it out using a dipping fork, allow the excess candy to drip off, then set the cookie on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the candy coating to dry for a moment, then using the fork, press down on the candy, and lift the fork away quickly, pulling the candy up into furry looking peaks.
- Do this all over the cookie, rotating the fork, so you don't just end up with lines of fur.
- Repeat the process with a vanilla wafer.
- Set the chocolate-coated vanilla wafer next to the chocolate-coated Oreo.
- Use the dipping fork to create spikes of fur on this cookie too.
- Chill the cookies after you get each one made. If you are using pure chocolate chill the chocolate-dipped cookies in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until the chocolate sets. If you use candy melts place the cookies in the freezer instead.
- After all 8 cats are created, pour the remaining chocolate in a Squeezeit Mold Painter or a zip-top bag.
- Pipe two thick ears onto the cat's head.
- Then pipe a thick curled tail onto the parchment paper.
- Chill the tails until they are hardened.
- Remove the tails from the refrigerator (pure chocolate) or freezer (candy melts) and peel them off the parchment paper.
- Attach the tails using a dab of chocolate.
- Chill just until the ears harden and the tail stays in place
