Ingredients
1sleeveOreos
1small bagM&M's
1bagwhite chocolate melting wafers
1packagesmall edible eyes
Instructions
Set aside about 16-20 white chocolate melting wafers. Melt the rest of the white chocolate melting wafers in a bowl in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring each time.
Meanwhile, gently twist apart the Oreos and place both halves on parchment lined baking tray. Dip two M&Ms halfway in the chocolate so it's partially coated. Place the M&Ms toward the top of one half of the Oreo sandwich. See photos above for placement.
Place a dollop (about a nickel size) of melted white chocolate in the middle of the Oreo and gently place the other half of the Oreo on top. Once you've done a few, place in the freezer while you do the rest.
Take the Oreos out of the freezer. Using a fork or a candy dipper, dip the whole Oreo in the melted chocolate. If the chocolate firms up, place in the microwave for 20 seconds to melt again. Shake off excess chocolate and place back down on the parchment-lined baking tray. Repeat steps with the rest of the first batch of frozen cookies.
Place a non-melted white chocolate wafer onto the Oreo for the muzzle, then a dab of melted white chocolate on the back of an M&M to make the nose. Add two candy eyes.
Allow the cookies to set for about 20 minutes or place them in the freezer for about 10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
Tips:
Set aside at least 20 whole white chocolate wafers. If you don't set them aside, you'll melt them all and then the polar bears won't have muzzles.
Keep in mind that chocolate cools off fairly quickly, so you want to work fast and only do a few polar bears at one time. I typically do about 5-6 at the same time so I can work quickly enough to where the chocolate is still warm.
Reheat the chocolate. As the chocolate gets cooler and becomes hard to work with, place in the microwave for another 30 seconds to get it back to being warm and smooth.
