Ingredient list

6 OREO Mint Creme Cookies

Directions

Twist the top and bottom halves of each cookie in opposite directions to separate the cookie halves, leaving all the creme on one half of each cookie.

Carve the creme into a monster's head shape as shown in photo, using a small metal spatula, toothpick or wooden skewer. (Note: Carve along both sides and top of the creme to make the rectangular head shape.)

Break apart 1 or 2 plain cookie halves, then use to make the monsters' hair and neck bolts, gently pressing the cookie pieces into the creme to secure.

Use a toothpick to carve the monsters' eyes, eyebrows, noses and mouths into creme, carefully scraping off and discarding any excess creme.

Recipe Tips

Hints on Twisting the Cookie Halves ApartTwist the cookies apart gently in a back-and-forth motion to release one cookie half from the creme. Or, you can use a small metal spatula to scrape the creme close to one half of the cookie. Any creme remaining on the plain cookie halves can be spread onto the creme-topped cookie halves. If desired, you can scrape off and discard any creme smudges with the spatula, skewer or toothpick.
Special ExtraDecorate with black sprinkles, small candies and/or colored sugar as desired.
