Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 20 Oreo cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 1 and ½ cups red chocolate melting wafers
Decorations
- Royal icing eyes
- Micro heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat to prevent sticking and set it aside for the decorated cookies.
- Melt the chocolate wafers: Place the red candy wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on medium power for 30 seconds, then remove and stir gently. Continue microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie about three-fourths of the way into the melted red chocolate, then gently tap to remove any excess chocolate. Place the dipped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet immediately.
- Add decorations: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle micro heart sprinkles over the dipped portion of each cookie to create a festive look.
- Attach the eyes: Using a toothpick, dab a small drop of melted chocolate on the back of each royal icing eye and press them onto the chocolate-coated area of the cookie to resemble eyes.
- Set the cookies: Allow the Love Bug Oreo Cookies to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely, about 15-20 minutes. Then enjoy or store properly.
Notes
- Store Love Bug Oreo Cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 7 days.
- If you don’t have red chocolate wafers, you can use white chocolate chips with red food coloring, but melting times may vary.
- Be gentle when tapping off excess chocolate to maintain a neat coating.
- For a glossy finish, stir the melted chocolate gently without introducing air to avoid dullness.
