Bumble Bee Cookies made with Oreos
If you’re looking for a fun Spring treat for the kids or you’re having a Bumble Bee themed birthday party, these Bumble Bee Oreos are for you! Using pre-made Oreo cookies makes these bee cookies so easy to make!
Ingredients Needed
Just 5-ingredients is all you need to make this easy cookie recipe.
- Oreo Cookies – any flavor of Oreos will work.
- Candy Melts – you need the colors yellow and black.
- Pretzel twists – get the miniature sized pretzels.
- Candy Eyes – these can be found at most grocery or craft stores.
How To Make Bee Cookies
Making these is pretty straight forward. All you’ll need are Oreos, candy melts in yellow and black, miniature pretzels and candy eyeballs.
- The first step is to coat your pretzels in the chocolate candy melts and coat your Oreos in the yellow. Melting chocolate can be tricky – you want it to heat enough to melt but not enough that it gets gooey and thick. They key is simply taking your time to make sure you’re going very slow, melting in the microwave in 20 second intervals.
Tip: If you do overcook the chocolate a bit, you can add a little bit of coconut oil in to thin it out.
Assembling Your Bee Cookies
After you have let your cookies and your pretzels harden on wax paper, you can begin putting your bumble bees together.
- Melt a bit more of the black chocolate and put it in a piping bag. Use the chocolate to ‘glue’ the pretzel wings on the bottom and the eyes on top. Now, make the stripes.
- You can let these harden up again and then enjoy!
Storing and Tips
- Store – Place the bee cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 days. No need to refrigerate.
- Tip – Feel free to use any kind of cookies for this recipe. Practically any store-bought cookie will work well or you could even make this using homemade sugar cookies.

Easy Bumble Bee Cookies
These Bumble Bee Cookies are so stinking cute! Made with Oreo Cookies dipped in chocolate and decorated with chocolate covered pretzels and candy eyes. So simple and fun!
Servings: 39 cookies
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 15.35 ounce package Oreo Cookies
- 2 12 ounce bags of yellow candy melts
- 1 12 ounce bag of black candy melts
- 1 bag miniature pretzel twists 2 mini pretzels for each cookie
- Candy eyeballs 2 eyeballs for each cookie
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Melt black candy coating according to package directions. If the candy is too thick to pour, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening. Stir well. Do not add water. You can add up to 1 tablespoon of coconut oil per bag of candy wafers.
- Dip each pretzel into melted candy. Allow excess to drain from the pretzel before placing on a waxed paper. Allow to set completely before proceeding.
- Melt yellow candy coating according to package directions. If the candy is too thick to pour, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening. Stir well. Do not add water. You can add up to 1 tablespoon of coconut oil per bag of candy wafers.
- Dip each cookie into melted candy. Remove cookie, tapping gently against the side of the bowl, allowing excess candy to return to the bowl. If air bubbles form, pop them with a toothpick. Place the cookie onto the waxed paper. Allow to set completely before proceeding to the next step. To speed the process, cookies can be refrigerated or placed in the freezer in a single layer.
- Transfer melted black candy coating to a piping bag or a zip top freezer bag with the corner snipped. Create solid lines across the yellow cookie as stripes. Allow to set.
- Group pretzels in pairs and arrange as wings. Pour about ½ teaspoon melted black candy coating in the middle of the pretzels and place the cookie on top. Apply a small dot of black candy coating to the back of each eye and press against the edge of the cookie, two eyes on each.
- Allow cookie to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
