Set a double boiler or heat-proof bowl over a small pot of simmering water on the stovetop. Slowly melt the candy melts in the bowl, stirring occasionally. Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the candy.
Spoon or pipe a small amount of icing onto the top of each Oreo cookie, which will adhere the strawberry to the cookie base.
When candy melts are fully melted, turn heat to low while dipping the strawberries using a toothpick inserted into the cut end.
Gently shake off excess candy coating. Carefully place the strawberry on top of the icing on the Oreo cookie using a second toothpick inserted into the pointed end of the dipped strawberry.
Decorate like a Christmas tree with sprinkles and a candy star while the candy is still wet. It will dry in about 10 minutes.
