24 OREO Cookies
3 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate, melted
¾ cup sprinkles (2 colors)
24 small pretzel twists

Top with sprinkles, decorating half the cookies with each color of sprinkles as shown in photo.

Break off small piece from 1 pretzel; dip both ends of broken piece in some of the remaining melted chocolate, then press into 1 cookie as shown in photo. Break off second small piece from remaining broken pretzel, dip ends in chocolate, then attach to cookie to resemble face mask of helmet. Repeat with remaining pretzels and cookies. Discard unused pretzel pieces.

Spoon remaining melted chocolate into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe stripes down centers of helmets. Refrigerate 10 min. or until chocolate is firm.
