I Think You're a Hoot! - Owl Oreo Valentines

Somewhere (and for the life of me I cannot remember where so I apologize in advance to whomever I got this idea from!) I saw how to make adorable owls using Oreo cookies.  This gave me an idea for a Valentine for my son to give to his cousins.


I started with Oreos (or in my case faux Oreos!) for the body of the owl. I then melted white candy melts in the micorwave and filled a baggie with the melted candy and snipped off a tiny bit of the corner of the bag so I could pipe on the whites of the eyes.  Then I added yellow & red food coloring to the remaining white to create the orange for the beak and feet.  Finally I used mini chocolate chips to finish the eyes.  And what do you know, the cutest owls I've ever seen!


I put them in snack bags and stapled the bag topper that I created to the top as the finishing touch!  I just love them and I hope my neice and nephew do too!
