Ingredients
Scale
Cookies & Candy Decorations
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 1 package candy eyes (2 per frog, total 24 eyes)
- Black sugar sprinkles (optional)
- Red cookie icing for tongues
Frog Body & Legs
- 24 Mini Twist pretzels (2 per frog, total 24 pretzels)
Chocolate Coating
- 7 oz white chocolate
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- Green food coloring (oil-based)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate together with the coconut oil and a few drops of oil-based green food coloring over low heat or in a microwave, stirring frequently until completely smooth and evenly colored bright green.
- Coat Pretzels: Dip each mini twist pretzel fully into the melted green chocolate to coat them. Lay two pretzels side by side with their bottoms touching on a wax paper-lined tray to form the frog’s legs.
- Coat Cookies: Completely cover one Oreo cookie at a time with the green chocolate and carefully place it on top of the pretzel pair, aligning it to create the frog’s body.
- Add Eyes and Tongues: While the chocolate is still wet, attach two candy eyes on top of each frog and use red cookie icing to pipe a small tongue shape on the frog’s mouth area.
- Decorate Bumps: Transfer remaining melted chocolate into a piping bag with a tiny cut tip and pipe small bumps behind each eye to mimic frog skin texture.
- Add Texture: Lightly sprinkle black sugar sprinkles over each frog to add depth and realistic texture.
- Set the Cookies: Place the tray with assembled frog cookies in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Oil-based food coloring is recommended to avoid seizing the chocolate, which can happen if water-based coloring is used.
- Be gentle when dipping and assembling to prevent breaking the pretzels or cookies.
- If you don’t have red cookie icing, you can use red gel food coloring mixed with powdered sugar to create a pipeable icing.
- Black sugar sprinkles are optional but add a nice textured look to the frogs.
- Store the finished frog cookies in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm and fresh.
