Valentine’s Day Oreos

Servings: 12 Oreos
Prep Time: 10 minutes / Cook Time: 5 minutes (melting candy) / Cool Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 package of Oreo cookies
12 oz white candy melts
Red heart sprinkles (or any Valentine’s-themed sprinkles)

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to place your dipped Oreos for cooling.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.

Using a fork, dip each Oreo into the melted candy. Let the excess candy coating drip off and gently tap the fork against the side of the bowl. Place the dipped Oreo onto the prepared baking sheet.

While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle the red heart sprinkles over the top of each Oreo. Be generous to make them look festive!

Let the Oreos sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes or until the candy coating hardens. For faster results, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.

Once set, your Valentine’s Day Oreos are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
