Chocolate-Covered Cookie Medals
Here’s a quick and easy tip to transform chocolate-covered
sandwich cookies into Olympic gold medals! All you need are sandwich cookies, white
chocolate or confectionery coating, yellow food coloring, Fruit by the Foot (or
other fruit leather) and metallic gold luster dust (optional).
Add golden yellow food coloring to white chocolate or
confectionery coating before coating sandwich cookies. Before coating sets, add
a “ribbon” made of Fruit by the Foot cut into thirds to the backside of the
cookie. After coating is set, brush with metallic gold
luster dust for an extra special touch (optional). Gold foil-wrapped chocolate
coins could also be used as an alternative to dipped cookies.
Your chocolate-covered cookie “medals” may be packaged and sold individually or as a delicious party tray to serve at an Olympics watch party! Check out this post from the RCI Blog for inspiration on creating chocolate charcuterie boards.
