Make the wings:
Separate a few Oreos and remove the filling. Gently saw across the edge of each cookie to create three slices from the outer edge. Cut each slice in half — that’s your set of penguin wings! -
Melt the candy:
Add a small handful of white candy melts to a sandwich bag. Microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Snip a tiny hole in one corner of the bag for piping. -
Assemble the penguins:
-
Use melted candy to attach a white candy melt on the front of each Oreo.
-
Add two candy eyeballs just above the white section.
-
Place a small heart sprinkle upside down for the beak, and two more at the bottom for the penguin’s feet.
-
Attach wings if desired.

Let them set:
Allow cookies to rest for 5–10 minutes until the candy hardens.
That’s it — your penguin treats are ready to march into snack time!
