Once cookie is finished baking, but while it is still warm in the pan, create rows of red and white by placing red candy wafers in a row, one next to the other, then doing the same with vanilla candy wafers. Start at the bottom right of the pan and work toward the upper left corner. Leave a square in the top left corner, approximately 7½" xy 7½".

Melt navy wafers according to package instructions. Spoon navy wafers into the square in the upper left corner of the pan, spreading evenly. Carefully place finished candy stars on the blue square.

Chill entire cookie bar 10-15 minutes or until candies on top are hardened.
