Backside Black Cat Cookies

Directions

1. Pour the melted candy coating or melted and tempered semi-sweet chocolate into a small shallow bowl.
2. Dip an Oreo into the chocolate, lift it out using a dipping fork, allow the excess candy to drip off, then set the cookie on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
3. Allow the candy coating to dry for a moment, then using the fork, press down on the candy, and lift the fork away quickly, pulling the candy up into furry looking peaks.
4. Do this all over the cookie, rotating the fork, so you don't just end up with lines of fur.
5. Repeat the process with a vanilla wafer.
6. Set the chocolate-coated vanilla wafer next to the chocolate-coated Oreo.
7. Use the dipping fork to create spikes of fur on this cookie too.
8. Chill the cookies after you get each one made. If you are using pure chocolate chill the chocolate-dipped cookies in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until the chocolate sets. If you use candy melts place the cookies in the freezer instead.
9. After all 8 cats are created, pour the remaining chocolate in a Squeezeit Mold Painter or a zip-top bag.
10. Pipe two thick ears onto the cat's head.
11. Then pipe a thick curled tail onto the parchment paper.
12. Chill the tails until they are hardened.
13. Remove the tails from the refrigerator (pure chocolate) or freezer (candy melts) and peel them off the parchment paper.
14. Attach the tails using a dab of chocolate.
15. Chill just until the ears harden and the tail stays in place
