Mickey Party #2

Still working out the kinks here!  But to continue on with the food for the Mickey party...

We held her party at lunchtime in the play gym at the local YMCA, so I knew we would go pretty light on food since the kiddos would be super busy having fun!  But I did make a few yummy treats...the most popular of which were the dipped Oreo mickey cookies!  Pretty easy to make once I got the hang of it!
                                .

I used melting chocolate, regular sized Oreos and mini Oreo halves to make these cookies.  The trick was scraping off the inside of the mini Oreos to get a flat disc (using the side of a small bowl really helped).  Also be sure to assemble the cookies on wax paper so they come off easily after they are chilled!  I just used a little melted chocolate to adhere the ears, then covered with the top of the cookie.  I dipped about half of these in a bowl of melted chocolate, and left the other half just cookie.  Once they were chilled in the fridge I packed each one in a plastic Baggie with a decorative twist tie...voila, delicious favors!!

The cupcakes were similar, but I had my VIB (very important baker) to help me out!
