I like to melt 1 cup of candy melts with 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening at a time. Heat for 30 seconds at 50% power, stir, repeat until melted. If the candy melts are still too thick, add more coconut oil 1 teaspoon at a time until you get your desired consistency.

Let the white candy melts set up and then using a spoon drizzle lines over the Oreo to create mummy wrappings. I like to add a few lines, let those set up, then add more lines, giving the appearance of multiple layers of bandages. You can also pipe on the candy melts if you have a baggie with the corner cut off.

Tips and Tricks

One 12-oz bag of candy melts will cover almost the entire container of Oreos. The exact amount will vary depending on how much coconut oil/shortening you use to thin the candy melts.
You can make black frosting by adding black food gel to my dark chocolate frosting recipe, or buy some from the store (what I do for small projects like this). I like to use a piping bag with a small writing tip (#3 Tip) or a bag with the corner cut off to make the details.
