- Dip and Decorate: Melt blue candy melts and dip the left side of the Oreo at an angle, allowing excess to drip off. Place a candy eye on the right side and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Add the Fin: Melt more blue candy melts and use a decorating bag to pipe shark fins onto parchment paper. Once set, attach a fin to the top of the Oreo cookie using the melted blue chocolate.
