How To Decorate The Red Angry Birds:
1. Pop the red Oreos (4) out of their molds and lay on your workstation or cutting board.
2. You will need 2 red Chuckles candies for the hair of 4 red Angry birds. Slice 6 pieces from one candy and 2 pieces from another along the indented lines that are already there. You will need 8 pieces total. (6 from one piece and 2 from the other).
3. Dab a small amount of cookie icing on the back of 2 candy pieces and place on the top of each red Oreo for the hair.
4. Apply a small amount of icing to the back of 2 candy eyes and press gently down on each red Oreo.

How To Decorate The Pigs:
1. Pop the green Oreos (2) out of their molds and lay on your workstation or cutting board.

5. For the ears of the 2 pigs, you will need 2 green candy melts. I just used a scissors and did my best to cut 2 ear shapes from each melt. Attach them to the top of each head with a dab of icing.
