These Red White and Blue Oreos are one of those short-cut dessert recipes that is perfect for the upcoming holiday.
We like to call this 4th of July Oreos because they are not only patriotic in color, but they looks so festive on a stick.
Why This Recipe
While I love to make 4th of July desserts from scratch, sometimes half-homemade works out just as well. I call these recipes practically homemade.
This fun 4th of July dessert idea is both decorative and delicious. Ores are covered in flavors and colors and are eaten on a stick for added fun.
These not only taste great but are super simple to make. They are ready to eat in about 45 minutes. Put them in cups or on a styrofoam base and they look very festive on the dessert table too!
Ingredients For 4th of July Dessert Oreos
You will just need a few ingredients for this recipe
Oreos - You will want to use double stuff Oreos. You can also use either chocolate or Vanilla Oreos. I would not recommend using the standard Oreo because, well, they are too thin for the straws to fit.
Candy Melts - You will need three types of candy melts for this recipe - White, Red, and Blue. You can just double up on the white and use food coloring, but it will save you time to use the three colors as is.
Sprinkles - Use some decorative sprinkles in Red, White, and Blue.
Tools and Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Parchment lined baking sheet
- Bowls
- Spoons
- Straws or lollipop sticks - these work great!
