Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients in a clean workspace.
- Lay out the chocolate sandwich cookies and have your microwave-safe bowls and sandwich bags at hand.
Melting Candy Melts
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the orange Wilton candy melts for about 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.
- Allow it to cool for about 2-3 minutes before dipping the cookies.
Dipping Cookies
- Take the chocolate sandwich cookies one by one and dip them into the melted orange candy.
- Cover both sides thoroughly, then lift the cookie out using a fork, allowing excess candy to drip off.
- Lay them on a cookie sheet or wax paper.
Setting Cookies
- Place the dipped cookies in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Melting Black Candy Melts
- While waiting for the cookies to set, melt the ¼ cup of black candy melts in a separate microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat for about 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.
- Cool for 3-4 minutes before piping.
Piping Basketball Lines
- Scoop the cooled black chocolate into a small sandwich bag, snip the tip of the bag to create a small hole for piping.
- Pipe the basketball lines onto the dipped cookies before they harden.
Final Sets
- Once all cookies have three lines, place them back in the fridge for another 5-10 minutes to let the chocolate set.
- Finish by adding the third line across each cookie and let them cool for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers. These cookies can be frozen for longer storage.
