How to Make Ladybug Oreos
Ingredients:
- 15 Oreos
- 1 cup red melting chocolate
- Black writing gel or edible marker
- Candy eyes
Directions:
Melt the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave at 30 second intervals, about 2 minutes total.
Dip each Oreo cookie half way in the melted red chocolate allowing the excess candy melt to drip off.
Place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
Allow cookies to cool and harden. This should take about 10 minutes. It helps if you put them in the refrigerator for a few minutes after dipping them so that they completely harden.
Once your love bug oreo cookies have cooled and hardened, it’s time to add the decorations!
To adhere googly eyes use a toothpick to put two dots of melted candy on the oreo.
Attach googly eyes to the red dots.
Use black writing gel or marker to make a straight line down the red area, and add a few hearts on each side of the line.
Allow the Lady bug Oreos to set completely. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for a short time.
Once fully set, arrange your Valentine’s Day Ladybug Oreos on a festive platter or package them in individual bags for gifting. Share these adorable treats with loved ones and friends.
Store in an airtight container.
