Football Party Oreo Favors
October 2, 2026
Chocolate-covered football Oreos paired with sprinkle-covered Oreo stacks for a fun game day party favor!
I love a dessert that can double as part of the party setup, and these Football Party Oreo Favors do exactly that. You get chocolate-covered football Oreos with little white laces, plus dipped Oreo Thin stacks covered in green sprinkles to look like the field. Put them together in a favor bag with football ribbon and you’re ready for the game.
Flavor Profile
These have a rich milk chocolate flavor with that classic Oreo crunch in the center. The football cookies are a little thicker and more chocolate-forward, while the Oreo Thin stacks give you extra cookie crunch. The green sprinkles add texture more than flavor, and the white chocolate laces give the footballs a small creamy finish.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- They turn classic Oreos into a cute football party treat without complicated decorating.
- The molded football cookies have a thick chocolate shell with a crunchy Oreo center.
- The dipped Oreo Thin stacks add a second texture and make the favor bags feel more complete.
- Green sprinkles create a quick football-field look without needing extra piping or decorating.
- They can be packaged ahead of time, which is perfect for party planning.
The Twist
The twist is pairing the molded football Oreos with chocolate-dipped Oreo Thin stacks covered in green sprinkles. Instead of making one decorated cookie, you get a little football-and-field set that works perfectly together in the favor bag.
Ingredient Highlights
- Oreos: Regular Oreos work best inside the football molds because they give the cookies a thick, substantial center.
- Oreo Thins: Use one Golden Oreo Thin and one chocolate Oreo Thin in each stack for a mix of vanilla and chocolate cookie flavor.
- Milk chocolate melting wafers: These create the football shells and coat the Oreo Thin stacks. Melting wafers also set more smoothly than regular chocolate chips.
- White chocolate melting wafers: You only need a small amount for piping the football laces.
- Green sprinkles: These give the dipped cookie stacks their football-field look. Add them while the chocolate is still wet so they stick well.
Football Party Oreo Favors
Ingredients
- 1 Spinning Leaf football cookie mold
- 1 bag Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
- 1 bag Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers
- 4 regular Oreos, or as many as you’d like to make
- 4 Golden Oreo Thins, or as many as needed
- 4 regular Oreo Thins, or as many as needed
- Green sprinkles
- Favor bags- cellophane bags from a craft store like Michaels
- Football-themed ribbon
- Piping bottle
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Place the football cookie mold on a flat surface.
- Melt about ¼ of the bag of white chocolate melting wafers according to the package directions. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bottle, then carefully pipe the football laces into each mold cavity.
- Refrigerate the mold until the white chocolate is completely set.
- Melt the milk chocolate wafers according to the package directions. Spoon enough chocolate into each football cavity to fill it about halfway.
- Place one regular Oreo into each cavity and gently press it into the chocolate. Cover with additional melted chocolate until the cavity is filled.
- Gently tap the mold against the counter a few times to help release any air bubbles and level the chocolate.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- While the football Oreos are setting, make the dipped Oreo Thin stacks. Place one Golden Oreo Thin and one regular Oreo Thin together to create each stack.
- Using a fork, carefully dip each cookie stack into the remaining melted milk chocolate. Lift it from the chocolate, then gently tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove the excess.
- Transfer the dipped cookie stack to parchment paper and add green sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Repeat with the remaining cookies, then let them sit until completely set.
- Carefully remove the football Oreos from the mold and let them come to room temperature before packaging.
- Place the cookies in favor bags and tie them with football-themed ribbon. Package the football Oreos individually, or pair one football Oreo with one dipped Oreo stack to create a two-cookie football favor set.
FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. You can make them a few days before your party and keep them stored in an airtight container at room temperature until you’re ready to package them.
Do I need to refrigerate the finished cookies?
No. Once the chocolate is completely set, the cookies can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place.
Can I use chocolate chips instead of melting wafers?
You can, but melting wafers are easier to work with for molds and dipping because they melt smoothly and set firmly without tempering.
Can I use all regular Oreos instead of Oreo Thins?
For the football molds, yes. For the dipped stacks, Oreo Thins work better because two cookies together stay a little more manageable once they’re coated in chocolate.
How do I keep the football laces from smearing?
Make sure the white chocolate laces are completely set before adding the milk chocolate. Chilling the mold for a few minutes helps keep them in place.
Sprinkle of Fun
Make these for a football watch party and set the favor bags out near the snacks so everyone can grab one before heading home. They’re dessert and a little game day takeaway all in one.
