- Lift it out with the fork and gently tap the fork against the edge of the double boiler or bowl to remove the excess coating.

Notes
Use I used Melt ‘Ems or Wilton brand candy melts for smoothest finish.
Add any holiday sprinkles or jimmies instead of sanding sugar. Get as creative with colors as you'd like.
Use any flavor of Oreos you'd like like Mint Oreos, Golden Oreso or regular Oreos, Golden Oreos, etc.
Drizzle with red and/ or darker green candy too as an alternative
Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in a ziplock bag or airtight container for 7-10 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I like to place parchment paper between layers so they don't stick together.
Be sure to read the instructions on the back of the candy melts package for any reheating tips.
Be careful to not overheat the candy melts or it will seize and become to thick to dip in.
