Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 20 Oreo Cookies
- 1 and ½ cups red chocolate melting wafers
- Royal icing eyes (20 pieces)
- Micro heart sprinkles (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate Wafers: Place the red chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium heat for 30 seconds, then stir gently. Continue microwaving in 15 second increments, stirring between each, until the wafers are fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie about three-fourths of the way into the melted red chocolate. Lightly tap the cookie to remove any excess chocolate, then place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately decorate the chocolate-coated portion of each Oreo with micro heart sprinkles to add festive color and texture.
- Attach Eyes: Using a toothpick, place a small drop of melted chocolate on the back of each royal icing eye, then stick the eyes onto the chocolate-coated section of the Oreo cookie to create the ‘Love Bug’ look.
- Set Cookies: Allow the decorated cookies to sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets completely, ensuring the decorations stay in place.
- Serve: Enjoy your Love Bug Oreo Cookies once the chocolate has hardened for a perfect Valentine’s Day treat.
Notes
- Store Love Bug Oreo Cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for 7 or more days.
- Use a silpat mat if available to prevent sticking more effectively than parchment paper.
- If melted chocolate becomes too thick, warm briefly again in the microwave in 10 second bursts, stirring well.
- For an extra festive touch, vary the colors of chocolate wafers or sprinkles.
