March Madness Slam Dunk Basketball Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. Wilton orange candy melts
  • ¼ C. Wilton black candy melts
  • 1 package of chocolate sandwich cookies
  • Small sandwich bag
  • Scissors

Instructions

  1. In a microwave safe bowl heat the orange Wilton candy melts stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Let cool 2-3 minutes before dipping your cookies.
  2. Dip the cookies one at a time in the chocolate covering both sides. Lift out with a fork and lay on a cookie sheet or wax paper (see photos).
  3. Once all the cookies are dipped, let set in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Once the cookies are set, melt the ¼ C. black candy melts in a microwave safe bowl, again stirring every 30 second until melted. Let cool 3-4 minutes.
  5. Once the black chocolate is cool enough scoop it into the small sandwich bag and using the scissors, snip the end making a small hole (you do not want it too large otherwise the chocolate will drip everywhere).
  6. Using the sandwich bag, pipe the first 3 basketball lines onto the cookies. Repeat with all cookies. Once all cookies have 3 lines, place back into the fridge for another 5-10 minutes to let set.
  7. Finally, add the third line across your cookies to complete the basketball transformation. Let set for at least 30 minutes (15-20 in the fridge) before serving.
  8. *One 12 oz. Bag of orange candy melts makes approximately 20 basketballs.
  9. *Store in an airtight container for several weeks.
