Prep Time: 10 Mins Total Time: 10 Mins Makes 1 serving

Ingredients
3 OREO Cookies
¾ tsp. multi-colored sprinkles or nonpareils

Preparation
1. Twist top and bottom halves of each cookie in opposite directions to separate the
cookie halves, leaving all the creme on one half of each cookie.
2. Carve out the creme into a skull shape as shown in photo using small metal spatula,
toothpick or wooden skewer, carefully removing and discarding the creme from around
the skulls.

Tips
Hints on Twisting the Cookies Apart

Twist the cookie apart gently in a back-and-forth motion to release one cookie half from
the creme filling. Or, you can use the tip of a small metal spatula to scrape the creme. close to one half of the cookie. Any creme remaining on the plain cookie half can be
spread onto the creme-topped cookie half.

Special Extra
Use a toothpick dipped into assorted gel food colors to add special designs to your
OREO Day of the Dead Cookie. For best results, you will need to dip the toothpick into
the gel food color each time you want to add a dot of color to the creme filling.

Substitute
Prepare using your favorite variety of OREO Cookies.

Make it Easy
Use small round black candies to make the eyes and/or add heart- or flower-shaped
sprinkles for the nose and mouth.
