Balloon Chocolate Oreo Cookies for an Up Birthday Party

When Carl launched his house into the air using a bunch of helium balloons in the movie Up, I think he brought imagination and dreams of doing the same thing to many children.  So it's almost a necessity to have LOTS of balloons at my Up party.

What tastier way to add them than to make Balloon Chocolate Oreos for the party?

And they are REALLY easy to make!

Start with a package of Double Stuff Oreos, melted white chocolate, and the Balloon Sandwich Cookie Mold.  You can use whatever colored white chocolate that you like.  I plan to use red, yellow, and blue for my Balloon Oreos.

Melt your chocolate very carefully in the microwave.  I've found it's best to melt it at 50% power for 1 1/2 minutes at a time, until it melts.  White chocolate burns very easy, so be careful.

Take a spoonful of the chocolate and add it to each of the mold cavities.

Tap your mold onto the counter until the chocolate spreads out and looks pretty evenly distributed.

Add a single oreo to the center of each cavity.

Place a little spoonful of chocolate on top of the oreo and tap it until the chocolate becomes smooth.  Keep tapping to get all of the air bubbles out of the chocolate.

Refrigerate the oreos for about 20 minutes or until set.

If you want to add a little extra something special, I designed up these Up Balloon tags to add to the oreos.

Simply right click and save the jpg file below.  Print and cut out each of the tags.  Punch a hole in the corner and use some cute ribbon to tie to the Balloon Chocolate Oreo.  I used some cute HAPPY BIRTHDAY Curling Ribbon for mine and it adds a little color and greeting to the treat.

These balloons may not take our house very far, but they will definitely increase our dreams with their yumminess and sweetness.
