- Add each color frosting to a disposable piping bag fitted with a plastic coupler and a small star tip.
- Divide the vanilla wafers into 2 equal portions, 1 will be the top cookie, 1 will be the bottom cookie.
- Pipe buttercream onto half of the vanilla wafer cookies. Top each mound of buttercream with a single Sixlets candy. Place an unfrosted vanilla wafer on top to look like a half opened oyster shell. Repeat until all cookies are assembled.
