Easy bling Oreos tutorial

I bloody love Oreos... Especially the double stuffed ones... So when my creatively challenged boyfriend began moaning that valentines was tough because crafts didn't come naturally to him, I decided to look into a way of using these wee circles of joy to make life easier for him...

This tutorial is just a small one that I posted to a good reception on Instagram.

WHAT YOU NEED

 - Double stuffed Oreos (they must be double stuffed otherwise they won't be thick enough to fill with icing

- White piping icing (you can pick this up in most decent supermarkets. I used Asda's own brand- which comes with 3 different nozzles for piping)

- Selection of sprinkles

STEP 1: Using the thinnest nozzle, pipe a line of icing right around the gap between the biscuits.

STEP 2: Roll the biscuits in the sprinkles (with larger chocolate balls etc I just placed them in)

STEP 3 : Arrange in a thin gift box lined with decorative tissue.


Easy! Done! A child could do it! Take your other half to task :)
