Easy to make with kids, these Valentine’s Day Oreos in pink, white and red are perfect for sharing. Calling for just 5 ingredients, these dipped Oreo cookies are a fun and delicious undertaking.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure candy melts into microwave-safe bowls. Get out those Oreos and the sprinkles, too.
Melt the candy melts in the microwave. Follow the instructions on the back of the packaging, but I’ve had luck with 30-second bursts in the microwave until they are just melted.
If necessary, add 1-2 tablespoons of neutral oil to the melted candy melts to thin out the mixture. (I only had to do this for one of my colors, so give them a stir and test the consistency before adding the oil.)
Dip the Oreos. Gently place a single Oreo in a bowl of candy melts, and toss it around until coated. A fork works really well here.
Place on the prepared baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles or additional drizzles of candy melt, if desired.
Repeat with all the other cookies.
Let the cookies set for an hour.
Package them up or enjoy immediately!
Notes
How to store: Store in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 weeks. How to share: Place 2-5 dipped Oreos into a cellophane treat bag (or another treat bag) and share!Substitution Notes:
Chocolate: Instead of using candy melts, dip the Oreos in melted chocolate to make Chocolate Covered Oreos. Decorate with your favorite sprinkles.
White chocolate: If you’re not a classic chocolate fan, use white chocolate instead to make White Chocolate Oreos.
Swap out the colors of candy melts: This is an easy way to change the holiday and make these beauties year round! Use a different color of candy melts paired with different sprinkles, and you have various festive Oreos for the whole year!
