Ladybug Oreo Cookies (Easy Valentine’s Day Dessert)
You only need 4 ingredients to make these easy Valentine Love Bug Oreos, and they come together quickly. They’re one of the cutest Valentine’s Day treats, and my kids absolutely loved them.
Servings: 12 cookies
Cost: 13
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 1 1/2 cups red or pink candy melts not melted
- Valentines sprinkles
- 24 candy eyes
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the red candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until mostly melted. Stop heating just before they’re completely smooth and let the residual heat finish melting them so they don’t overheat and harden.
- Dip each Oreo about 2/3 of the way and place on parchment paper.
- Before the candy melts harden, sprinkle each Oreo with your favorite Valentine's Day sprinkles.
- Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, place 2 small dots of the melted candy on the Oreo cookie or backs of the candy eyes and stick the eyes to each cookie.
- Let melting candy harden and enjoy!
Notes
If you’re making a larger batch of ladybug cookies or making them with kids, I recommend grabbing a small container of decorator's icing in a tube from the grocery store. It’s even easier to work with, and you won’t have to race against the candy melts hardening, which happens fast.
